Deputy Mayor Advanced City’s Streamlining, Innovation, Effectiveness Goals
Fort Wayne, Ind. – Mayor Tom Henry today announced the resignation of Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy. Malloy has accepted a position with the State of Illinois Department of Revenue.
Malloy held the senior leadership post in the Henry administration for the past 18 months. During this time, in addition to her pivotal operational role, she spearheaded numerous initiatives on behalf of the Mayor, including:
• SmartGov, the Mayor’s pivotal program to use new technologies and process improvements to better serve the public and make Fort Wayne more attractive to
jobs and business investment;
• The transformation of the permitting process;
• The City-County cooperation agenda; and
• Legacy Fort Wayne, the communitywide effort to determine the future of the Fort Wayne Community Trust and City Light Lease Settlement funds.
“Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy has been a tremendous asset to this community,” said Mayor Henry. “She brought a fresh perspective and a capacity for innovation to key issues that this administration has championed: SmartGov, the streamlined permitting process, City-County collaboration initiatives and Legacy Fort Wayne. She elevated the role of Deputy Mayor and has been my true partner in making Fort Wayne a better, more attractive city. She will be a tough act to follow.”
Malloy will remain with the City through January 13. The search process for engaging a new Deputy Mayor will be delineated in the near future.
