30 years in government
Tempe’s interim manager has long history living, working in city
Posted
INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
Rosa Inchausti is replacing on an interim basis Andrew Ching as Tempe’s city manager.
Ching, who is leaving the post to take the same position Paradise Valley, held the position of city manager for 10 years, the second-longest in the community’s history.
Inchausti has worked in city government for 30 years and lived in Tempe for 25.
And, according to the city, her time in government has included several firsts.
She was the city’s first diversity director, which later led to her being strategic management and diversity director.
“During this time, she was responsible for transforming the organization into a data-driven municipality and aligning the city council’s priorities into an actionable strategic plan,” a release stated.
As co-chair of Tempe’s Technology and Innovation Steering Committee, Inchausti “identified and recommended the adoption of new technologies and innovations that advanced the quality of life for residents and businesses.”
Two projects stemmed from that role, the creation of a roadmap “for the integration of autonomous vehicles into a municipality” and the launch of “wastewater epidemiology via municipal infrastructure,” according to the city.
She later became the first female deputy city manager and now interim city manager as the Tempe City Council searches for Ching’s replacement.
