The Charles County Commissioners announce the appointment of Deputy County Administrator Deborah Hall as acting county administrator, effective Thursday, Dec. 18. In this role, Hall will oversee all county departments and be responsible for the day-to-day management of county government, in accordance with the policies and directives of the Commissioners. Hall began working for Charles County Government in October 2007 as director of Administrative Services.
“I look forward to working with the Board of Commissioners in this acting role. While changes have been made, we are all committed to achieving the Commissioners’ goals and objectives and getting business done to serve the citizens,” said Hall.
The Commissioners appointed Elizabeth D. Theobalds as acting county attorney and Marcia Keeth as acting director of Economic Development, effective Thursday, Dec. 18. Hall, Theobalds, and Keeth will continue serving in their acting roles until replacements are appointed. The Commissioners plan to conduct a competitive screening process to fill the positions.
Commissioner Vice President Ken Robinson (District 1) said, “All three individuals are uniquely qualified for the roles they have been asked to fill. They have been with county government for years, and they each possess the expertise required for county operations to continue in a seamless fashion. I applaud them for stepping up.”
