The city of Conyers has appointed a familiar face to a key leadership role within its municipal structure. As announced by Conyers City Manager Kameron Kelley, Brian Frix who has made his mark by directing the city's Department of Public Works and Transportation, is set to take over as the new chief of operations starting on Monday. With this promotion, Frix consolidates his influence in the governance of the city where he has already been a notable presence since 2016.
Frix's roots are deeply planted in the soil of Rockdale County, not only as a local but also as a professional with academic credentials from Southern Polytechnic State University and the University of Tennessee. He is not merely resting on his academic laurels; Frix has continuously expanded his expertise by obtaining licensure as a professional engineer in Georgia and certification in soil and water conservation. His journey, which began as a deputy director in 2016, culminated in his promotion to director in 2021, further cementing his dedication to the community that raised him. His list of accolades includes graduating from the Leadership Rockdale program, facilitated by the Conyers-Rockdale Chamber of Commerce, according to the city's announcement.
Brian Frix is set to oversee an array of key departments in his new role which include Planning and Inspections, Public Relations and Tourism, Public Works and Transportation, the Georgia International Horse Park, and Cherokee Run Golf Club. His well-rounded expertise in public works, engineering, and stormwater management equips him to take on this multifaceted position. His contributions have been well-recognized; most notable among them was his oversight of recent renovations at Cherokee Run Golf Club.
In a statement brimming with confidence in Frix's capabilities, City Manager Kelley praised his extensive knowledge and genteel leadership. "Brian is highly respected by the mayor and city council, senior staff, employees and citizens." "His background in public works, engineering and stormwater is extensive, Brian is very knowledgeable in all departments that will now be within his purview. He most recently oversaw the renovations at Cherokee Run Golf Club and works cooperatively with all departments thanks to his dynamic and collaborative leadership style in his former role as director of Public Works and Transportation. I’m excited to see how he’ll continue to serve the city in this new capacity," Kelley further commented, as noted by the city's announcement.
This changing of the guard comes at a time when the city is looking to deepen its operational efficiency and innovate its public service offerings. Frix's all-encompassing role positions him as a cornerstone in the city's future development and strategy, with the responsibility to ensure that all moving parts of Conyers's governance are operating in a harmonious and effective manner.
