The City of Austin has hired their first-ever Chief Service Officer. Andy Mormon will fill the job, which is funded by a $200,000 Cities of Service Leadership Grant. Mormon will be charged with engaging more of Austin's people in service and getting volunteers involved in some of the challenges facing the city. He has lived in Austin for 10 years and is a longtime human resources executive, a former aide to Mayor Lee Leffingwell and has been an active volunteer in the community.
“I’m very pleased that Andy Mormon will be serving as Austin’s new Chief Service Officer,” said Austin City Manager Marc Ott. “We found a unique combination of skills in Andy’s background.”
The grant, which is funded jointly by the Rockefeller Foundation and Bloomberg Philanthropies, will cover all of Mormon's salary and benefits. Austin is one of the 10 recipient cities of the second round of grants. Ten other cities were awarded grants in January 2010.
