The Tempe City Council voted Tuesday to appoint Rosa Inchausti as city manager.
Inchausti, the first female to hold the position Tempe’s history, had been serving as interim city manager following the departure of Andrew Ching this month.
Inchausti is a 30-year City of Tempe employee who recently served as the chief deputy city manager.
“Her extensive experience and time with the city will be reflected in her decisive but thoughtful decision-making ability and her talent for connection with community members in solving tough problems,” Mayor Corey Woods said.
Inchausti said she is “incredibly grateful to the mayor and council, to all city employees and to all residents for this chance to continue growing and giving back to Tempe.”
Inchausti began her Tempe career in 1993 as the city’s first bilingual marriage and family therapist.
Since then she advanced to be the city’s first diversity director, where she worked with the council to create Tempe’s anti-discrimination ordinance.
She then was promoted to the position of the city’s first strategic management and diversity director, where she led the wastewater testing for COVID-19 and opioids, according to a city release.
Inchausti has a bachelor’s degree from Loyola Marymount University and a master’s degree from Northern Arizona University.
