In this role, Durda and her team lead the city’s efforts in data analysis and performance tracking to develop and implement strategies for improvements benefitting Glendale’s residents, businesses and employees. She also works to monitor performance indicators across all departments and ensure alignment across the organization.
“I’m proud to serve the city and help maximize city services through the use of data management,” Durda stated in the release. “Improving processes with the support of data is critical to enhancing the lives of people we serve every day.”
