Atlanta, GA
The heart and soul of a dynamic metro area with a population of some 6.3 million, the City of Atlanta is at the center of one of the nation’s most vibrant regions.

The City’s Department of Public Works (DPW) is little known by the general public, but its work touches more residents every day than almost any other city department. DPW has two core functions: Solid waste services (garbage, yard waste and recycling) and fleet services (maintenance of the City’s fleet of nearly 5000 motorized vehicles). Other important services include street sweeping, the Keep Atlanta Beautiful initiative and related special services. All contribute to effective services and a livable, thriving city. Atlanta’s Commissioner of Public Works will be an experienced, adaptive and broad-gauged leader with a passion for excellence in civic services. Leadership Profile | Client Website
