Great leaders don’t just shape organizations—they inspire the people around them.?GPAC Executive Director Paul Chandler has been making headlines recently, as journalists look to him as a thought-leader in the local arts and culture scene. In early February, Chandler was a guest on The Daily Memphian’s podcast, “The Sidebar,” discussing the ins and outs of performing arts venues, particularly The Grove and the new venue being built at Crosstown Concourse. Last November, he was profiled in Memphis Magazine, which highlighted his professional accomplishments and personal insights, while also spotlighting GPAC’s new principal funder, Highland Capital Management. Germantown is proud to have passionate leaders like Chandler, whose expertise and vision continue to elevate our community’s presence in the arts and culture scene.

After decades of dedication to Germantown’s parks and recreation spaces, two longtime City employees are closing this chapter and stepping into retirement.?James Poole, who has spent an incredible 40 years?as a groundskeeper maintaining Germantown’s beautiful parks and athletic fields, and?Teresa Martin, who has provided 22 years of support?at both Germantown Athletic Club and Parks & Recreation, are both bidding farewell to the City. Their hard work and commitment have left a lasting impact, and they will certainly be missed. “I have had the pleasure of working with James for nearly 40 years. He is one of the most consistent, dependable, self-motivated employees I’ve ever worked with,” said Public Works Director Bo Mills. “I have seen him demonstrate a servant’s heart by giving the extra effort to help coaches, league officials, athletes and even parents to have a better experience with our Germantown athletic offerings.” “Over the years, James has become a household name in the Germantown sports community, and we are truly thankful for his leadership,” added Parks & Recreation Director Natalie Ruffin. “He has cared for our athletic fields, ensuring they are safe and well-maintained for our more than 3,000 youth that play on them week-in and week-out.”?Poole says his favorite thing about working with the City is the people he works with.?“I also enjoyed working on the Athletics crew to try to make Germantown fields the best in the area,” he said. Ruffin also expressed appreciation for Martin’s contributions to the City.?“The entire Parks & Recreation Team congratulates Teresa on a job well done and wishes her well as she enters this next chapter in her life,” Ruffin said. “Over the years, Teresa has demonstrated a true heart for service and has served this department and City well. She certainly will be leaving us in a better place than when she found us. She will truly be missed.” The City of Germantown extends its deepest gratitude to both James and Teresa for their service and wishes them all the best in their retirement.
