Shanda Murphy
White County has announced that Shanda Murphy will serve as the interim county manager starting June 26.
The move comes following the resignation of current county manager Jason Cobb, whose last day will be June 25. Cobb started working as the county manager in April 2020. According to a press release from the county, Murphy is currently the county clerk and human resources director, and has worked in this capacity for the past 16 years.
“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 County 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 said she is happy to serve the county in this interim role.
"I look forward to working alongside our great team of elected officials and department heads to keep all the positive things moving forward in White County until the Board can make a selection for this position," Murphy said. "I appreciate the Board of Commissioner’s confidence in me.”
Murphy will serve as the interim while the Board of Commissioners continue the search for a permanent county manager.
