Madison Foley will serve as Mayor Wu’s new liaison to Dorchester in her Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS). Foley, an Adams Village native, will focus on Dorchester Bay, Savin Hill, Ashmont, and Lower Mills, working closely with Anthony Nguyen, who is already on the mayor’s ONS team with a focus on Uphams Corner, Bowdoin/Geneva, Four Corners, and Codman Square.

“Dorchester is the biggest and one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city of Boston,” said Wu in a statement on Aug. 9. “Madison’s roots in Adams Village and in youth sports will make her a great asset to the Office of Neighborhood Services, as she and Anthony Nguyen work to connect Dorchester’s residents to city services.”

Foley, who lives in Dorchester, attended Saint Brendan School, Boston Collegiate Charter School, and earned a bachelor's degree in English from UMass Boston. Her background is in childcare, youth sports, and in the hospitality industry. She was also a softball coach for two years at All Dorchester Sports & Leadership program.

“As a neighborhood liaison, I will approach my work with the utmost respect and gratitude not only to Dorchester constituents but to Mayor Wu,” said Foley. “I look forward to giving back to the community that has given me so much in my life growing up in Boston.”

Former Dorchester Liaison Ross Cochran recently transitioned from the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services to the Procurement Department, where she is an analyst.
