Later this month, I will be stepping down from my position as Director of Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and stepping up into a new position with the City of Memphis as the Chief of Development and Infrastructure. Serving as Director of DPD has been such a rewarding experience, but it's due largely to the strong team of professionals I have had the pleasure of working with over the last 7+ years in DPD, leadership in city and county government, and the support of community partners and customers who have helped us achieve so much since I started.
While I'll be moving to a new position, the mission is the same: to support thriving, livable neighborhoods and connected communities throughout Memphis. In the weeks and months to come, you should expect the same level of professionalism, service, and results from DPD that we have achieved to this point. You should expect the same commitment to improvement of the city, county, and our own operations as we have worked to advance over the years. It has been an honor leading, supporting, and being a part of the DPD team as Director.
But I won't be going far. We will continue to work together, to achieve new goals, and create more value for our city and county. I'm proud of the work we've done together and look forward to seeing what DPD accomplishes next. I want to extend my thanks to Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, City of Memphis Mayor Paul Young, the Shelby County Commissioners, and the Memphis City Council for your support and faith in my leadership of the division. I want to extend my gratitude to the outstanding employees of DPD for your hard work, dedication, and comradery. And to so many others who have been a part of our success - thank you.
