(Washington, D.C.) — Today, the African American Mayors Association — the exclusive organization representing the nation’s 500+ Black mayors — announced that Phyllis Dickerson has been appointed as the new CEO.
“I am honored to serve the nation’s Black mayors. I’ve worked in government for decades, and I’ve seen firsthand how mayors can move communities forward. They are deeply in tune with the needs of their local communities and craft tailored policies that uplift their constituents. Black mayors in particular have the know-how to create equitable solutions to issues disproportionately affecting communities of color. As I look to the future, I am excited to help elevate the voices and ideas of this inspirational group of leaders,” said Phyllis Dickerson.
Dickerson brings a strong record in government to AAMA. She has served in many roles for the City of Little Rock, most recently as Chief of Staff. She also served on the Board of Directors and as a Committee Chair for the National Forum for Black Public Administrators.
“As President of the African American Mayors Association, I look forward to working closely with Phyllis. She is an exceptional executive leader with the experience and background to take our organization to the next level. I am confident that she will provide effective day-to-day oversight of our national headquarters while growing AAMA’s relationships with key stakeholders. African American Mayors represent communities across the country that face unique challenges and implement innovative programs. It is critically important that our collective voices remain elevated as part of the local, state, and national conversation,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner (Houston, TX), president of AAMA.
