Mayor Eric Garcetti today announced the nomination of Wendy Macy as the next General Manager of City of Los Angeles Personnel Department. Macy currently serves as Director of Human Resources for the County of Sonoma, a position she has held since 2011, and was previously Chief Operating Officer of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
In Sonoma County, Macy managed a full-service human resources agency, was instrumental in negotiating new agreements with 11 bargaining units to strengthen fiscal sustainability, and played a role in the County’s strategic planning and budget development functions.
Macy is an attorney who spent a decade with the Los Angeles Unified School District as Chief Operating Officer, Personnel Director, and Associate General Counsel. At the school district from 2001-2011, she led the Personnel Commission through tough economic times, reorganizing major functions to cut costs and improve service.
“Wendy Macy has been a successful change agent in reforming major public agencies throughout her career, and will encourage and reward innovation here in LA to produce better, faster and more economical results,” said Mayor Garcetti. “She will be a strong leader of our work to restore pride and excellence in public service with a commitment to train, equip, and empower the public workers who deliver our vital basic services.” (Full Story at LAmayor)
