NEW ORLEANS — Today, Mayor LaToya Cantrell named Jade Brown-Russell as the Acting Director for the New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board. Ms. Russell was one of two candidates recommended by a dommittee tasked by the Mayor with helping select options for the role.
“Jade Brown-Russell has my faith and confidence, and I believe she will provide the leadership and the steadiness needed as acting Executive Director,” said Mayor Cantrell. “Jade has done an excellent job helping the City to get our arms around the problems we face at the S&WB, and I am grateful that she is going to step up and serve admirably.”
The appointment of an Acting Director is a temporary one, with Ms. Russell serving in a short-term capacity while the search and interview process continues for a permanent candidate.
