Marin Taps Christina Cramer For Administrative Role

MARIN COUNTY, CA — Marin County has tapped a veteran North Bay administrator for a key leadership role.

Christina Cramer was selected to lead Marin’s Department of Human Resources, county officials said in a news release.

Cramer is a 17-year veteran of the Sonoma County government’s human resources department and its leader for the past eight years.

Cramer, who grew up in Novato and has deep Marin family roots, will lead a team of 40 full-time equivalent staff members and manage a departmental budget of $7.9 million.

“I am looking forward to getting to know the Human Resources team and the whole organization,” Cramer said in a statement.

“Organizations across the country have been heavily impacted by the post-COVID ‘Great Resignation.’ I will be focused on helping Marin recruit and retain an excellent workforce so the County can provide the important and much-needed services to the Marin community.”

In Sonoma, Cramer supervised 65 full-time equivalent positions and a $123.7 million operating budget as her team provided services to 28 county departments plus local special districts and agencies.

Cramer participated in strategic objectives such as racial equity, social justice, and organizational excellence in addition to the core HR services such as labor relations, recruitment, risk management, workers’ compensation, and benefits.

Cramer started with Sonoma County as an analyst in 2005 and advanced to a supervisor role one year later. After five years as recruitment and classification manager, she served three years as the department’s assistant director prior to her appointment to the top post.

“Christina brings a wealth of experience to help lead one of our biggest priorities: attracting and retaining talent,” Marin County Administrator Matthew Hymel said in a statement.

“We feel fortunate to have someone with Christina’s skills and abilities join our leadership team.”
