The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to appoint Assistant County Manager Jen Pokorski as the next Maricopa County Manager. Jen will take over for Joy Rich who is retiring on April 7 after nearly seven years leading the organization.
Here are a few things to know about Jen. She has worked for Maricopa County since 2005. Prior to her role on the executive leadership team, Jen was director of Planning and Development and director of the Ombudsman's Office. She also worked in the non-profit world prior to her government service.
According to Jen, “It is an honor to continue my service to Maricopa County in this new role. I believe in the power of government to do good because I’ve seen firsthand the impact our services and programs have. I also believe government must be responsive and accountable to residents because I’ve worked directly with folks whose lives are impacted by our action or inaction. Those things will never be far from my mind as I work to carry out the Board’s vision for Maricopa County.”
