https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AudreyBK__________________________________________The Board of Commissioners approved recommendations this afternoon by County Administrator Glenn Stephens to appoint Rebecca Shelton as Water Resources Director and Matthew Dickison as Planning and Development Director.
Rebecca has served as acting director of Water Resources since July. Under her leadership, Gwinnett County received the Platinum Peak Performance Award from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies, Platinum Distribution System Excellence Award, and served on a leadership team that helped guide Gwinnett in being recognized for having the Best Tasting Water in the state. She was also recently named one of the 100 Most Influential Women in Georgia Engineering by Georgia Engineering Magazine.
“Gwinnett is a recognized leader in the water industry, and protecting public health by providing safe drinking water, proper wastewater treatment and effective stormwater services is at the heart of what we do every day,” said Rebecca. “I am fortunate to work with amazing, passionate water professionals who care about serving our residents.”
Matthew joined Planning and Development in 2021 as deputy director before being promoted to assistant director the following year. The department serves to promote and enhance the well-being of residents and businesses in Gwinnett County by planning for growth and maintaining adopted standards for development.
“I am honored to lead the department at a time when there are so many exciting planning and redevelopment projects underway now and on the horizon,” Dickison said. “Gwinnett’s future is bright, as we continue to promote people-centered development that meets the needs of all residents. I look forward to advancing these efforts and ensuring that our team continues to provide exceptional service to our community.”
Both appointments highlight the County’s commitment to succession planning and promoting from within. Please join us in congratulating these two public servants!
