As White County Manager Jason Cobb prepares to leave the post next week, the White County Board of Commissioners has appointed County Clerk and Human Resources Director Shanda Murphy to fill job on an interim basis.
Murphy will step into the job on June 26, the day after Cobb's departure.
Murphy will serve in the interim position as the Board of Commissioners continues the search for a permanent county manager.
"As the Board continues our interview process for our full-time county manager position, the Commissioners have asked Ms. Murphy to act as interim manager for a short-term basis," said Commissioner Chairman Travis Turner. "The board wants to see our citizens served with the best customer service and Shanda’s working knowledge will help keep business moving forward. I appreciate Shanda agreeing to continue to serve our citizens as we are growing as a community."
Murphy, who has been County Clerk for 15 years, said she appreciated the Board of Commissioners placing their confidence in her ability to fill post.
