PHOENIX —– Coconino County Supervisor Mandy Metzger was elected by colleagues to serve as the second vice president of the County Supervisors Association of Arizona (CSA), a non-partisan research and advocacy organization representing the state’s 61 county supervisors.

“This is a tremendous honor,” Supervisor Metzger said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to represent my fellow supervisors in this important organization and look forward to working on behalf of counties throughout the state as the Legislature begins its new session in January.”

Metzger was chosen for the post during CSA’s November meeting. She will serve on the organization’s executive board with CSA President and Yuma County Supervisor Lenore Stuart; President-elect and Greenlee County Supervisor Richard Lunt; First Vice President and Pinal County Supervisor David Snider; Third Vice President and Gila County Supervisor Tommie Cline Martin; and Immediate Past President and Maricopa County Supervisor Max Wilson.

“Supervisor Metzger is a dedicated public servant whose experience and commitment to local government make her an exceptional representative of Arizona counties,” declared outgoing CSA President Max Wilson. “Her selection as Second Vice President reflects the trust and confidence that her fellow supervisors have in her.”

As CSA’s second vice president, Supervisor Metzger will serve on the organization’s executive board, helping to develop plans and implement strategies for strengthening Arizona counties in state policymaking.

For more than 30 years CSA has served as a forum for county leaders to address important issues facing our communities and develop a proactive state and federal policy agenda. The organization is led by an executive board comprised of supervisors elected by their peers and is staffed by a team of professional policy analysts.

Supervisor Metzger has been a CSA member since 2008.
