Mr. Spoonhower and Mr. Sharpe are serving as the Board’s Chair and Vice-Chair for the first time. Both were elected in 2019 and are serving their first term as supervisor. Mr. Spoonhower succeeds District 3 Supervisor John Lumpkins, Jr. in the position and Mr. Sharpe succeeds District 5 Supervisor Ken Peterson.
“I just really want to thank everyone, I am absolutely humbled and very appreciative of this opportunity to serve alongside new Vice Chair Don Sharpe and my other colleagues in this capacity,” said Chair Neil Spoonhower. “By far the last two years have been the most rewarding in my career. This is probably the best role I’ve ever had, and I am very excited for the year. I want to thank Mr. Lumpkins not just for his leadership but also for his levity during some challenging times. We have a really busy year in front us and I have the confidence this Board is going to continue to do the right thing for our citizens.”
