(KAIR)--The City of Atchison has selected a former Atchison resident to serve as the Director of Administrative Services.
A news release from Atchison City Manager Becky Berger announces that Joe Warren has been chosen for the role, which the news release calls “a newly created position within the executive team.”
The release says the position's responsibilities include finance, community development, and communications for the City of Atchison.
Warren, who currently serves as the editor and publisher of The Daily Star-Journal, in Warrensburg, Missouri, previously held that same title with The Atchison Globe, where he worked for eight years.
Berger, in the release, says Warren, who moved from Atchison in 2015, was chosen following his completion of a 24-hour interview process. During that time, he interviewed with three different panels, including one comprised of community members, one of experts in finance and community development,and one comprised of the department heads for the City.
Berger cites Warren's 15-years of managerial experience, 18-years of mass communications experience, and 10-years of budgeting and forecasting experience as reasons for his selection.
Warren, in the release, calls Atchison “a special community,” and says he looks forward to playing his role in helping Atchison be as dynamic as possible.
Warren officially begins his duties as Director of Administrative Services on July 23.
Berger tells MSC News the City screened ten applicants for the position, with eight of the candidates interviewed by telephone.
From that pool, four were chosen to undergo the on-site interview process, which led to the selection of Warren.
