Walnut Creek City Manager Dan Buckshi has announced that Assistant City Manager Teri Killgore is leaving Walnut Creek for a position in Arizona.
Killgore will serve as the Economic Development Director for the City of Scottsdale. Buckshi praised Killgore’s nearly six years of work for the city.
“We brought Teri in as a consultant, and realized she would be a good fit in our leadership structure,” Buckshi said. “She has served as interim director for Administrative Services and Community Development and as the Director of Human Resources. More recently Teri has been an integral part of our Economic Development programs.”
Killgore said she enjoyed the different aspects of her time with the City. “I had the experience of directly overseeing different departments, including having significant involvement in Economic Development,” said Killgore. “The business community and the Walnut Creek community as a whole will be tough to leave, but I’m excited about my new position.”
Killgore was instrumental in the transition to outdoor dining during the pandemic, and other high-profile issues in the business community and Walnut Creek at large. She will leave the City position in early-April, and a recruitment for a new Assistant City Manager will be launched at that time.
