Inn Owner Khalil Named to St. Michaels Commission

by

The Commissioners of St. Michaels have appointed Aida Khalil to fill the remainder of the term vacated by former Commissioner Jaime Windon who resigned earlier this month. Khalil was sworn in and seated at the start of the commissioners’ Wednesday night meeting.

Khalil has a lifelong history of serving others, including humanitarian missions overseas to aid refugees from the war in Syria. As the owner/operator of Aida’s Victoriana Inn, she has been a successful businesswoman and a booster of civic causes in St. Michaels for the past 16 years.

She currently serves as secretary of the St. Michaels Business Association and previously served on the St. Michaels Planning Commission and the Town of St. Michaels Tourism Board.

Commission President Michael Bibb said he and the other commissioners look forward to working with Khalil as the town adjusts to a post-pandemic economy.

“Her expertise as a businesswoman and her enthusiasm for giving back to the community are a real asset,” Bibb says. “We hope the residents of St. Michaels will welcome her and support her efforts on our behalf. We are lucky to have people of her caliber willing to step forward.”

Khalil’s term will expire in June 2022.

Windon Resigns as St. Michaels Commissioner

St. Michaels Town Commissioner Jaime Windon has resigned her post effective immediately.

In a statement sent Monday to the interim town manager, Windon wrote:

“For the last seven years I have enjoyed serving the town of Saint Michaels. It is both a privilege and an honor to be a commissioner, and it is a role that I strived to fulfill to the best of my ability with dedication and integrity. However, recent events, conflicts and controversies prove to be a continual challenge to my ability to maintain excellence in governance and create positive change through my position.

“It is not without regret that I have come to the decision that I can no longer serve as part of this commission, and am therefore resigning, effective immediately.

“Thank you to our dedicated public servants: the police department, public works, the office staff and all those who volunteer their time on the many boards and committees, your efforts make this town a wonderful place to live and it has been a pleasure working alongside each of you.

“Best wishes to those that are entrusted with guiding and governing our town. I look forward to finding new ways to serve Saint Michaels in the future.”

Windon’s term expires in 2022.
