Former Beverly Hills community outreach manager Stephanie Harris has been appointed interim community services director, after current director Jenny Rogers announced an extended personal leave.

“I am pleased that Stephanie has agreed to assist during this busy time for the department,” city manager Nancy Hunt-Coffey said.  “With large community events on the horizon in the months ahead, Stephanie will work closely with assistant director Patty Acuna and the department’s leadership team to ensure the continued success of our award-winning programs.”

Prior to joining the City Manager’s Office last year as Community Outreach Manager, Harris worked in various roles in the Community Services Department since joining the City in 2014.
