The Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners has named Derrick Jackson as Interim County Administrator.
Jackson is no stranger to county government. He spent several years in the Sheriff’s Office and currently serves as Washtenaw County’s Racial Equity Officer. He’ll be replacing retiring County Administrator Gregory Dill who is leaving effective July 12th.
Jackson says he has always seen Dill as a mentor.
“Big shoes to fill, but I am honored to be able to step into this role and having learned a lot from Greg, working with him and working for him. I’m really excited about the opportunity.”
Wednesday was Dill’s last Commission meeting before his departure. He says it’s been an honor to serve the residents of Washtenaw County. Dill say he’s very proud of what they have been able to accomplish over the years and even more proud of the people who work for the residents.
