- Communications Director (Interim): Angela Van Rooy
- Housing & Neighborhood Development Director: Anna Killion Hanson

Allen is also the former campaign treasurer for Hamilton and for Don Griffin, who served as deputy mayor before Carmichael. Griffin and outgoing city council member Susan Sandberg unsuccessfully ran for mayor this year against Thomson.
All of Thomson’s latest appointments were selected internally.
Thomson will take office on Jan. 1, 2024.
