According to a news release from City Spokesperson Marlene Feist, Woodward named a new Director of Communications & Marketing, an Interim Director of Human Resources and a Chief Financial Officer.
Woodward nominated Brian Coddington, who currently is the Communications and Community Relations Director for Spokane Public Schools, as her new Director of Communications & Marketing. The positions acts as the city spokesperson.
Coddington also has previous experience in this role with the city.
Woodward also appointed Tonya Wallace as the Chief Financial Officer and Tom Bartridge as Interim Director of Human Resources.
