Clark to Head City Fleet Management Department

 

DURHAM, N.C. - Joe Clark was named director of the City of Durham's

"Joe has proven himself to be a leader within our organization,"
Bonfield said. "His broad range of skills, especially in the procurement
area, has greatly contributed to the City's ability to negotiate and
manage contracts for goods and services in a cost efficient manner. I am
happy to promote someone of Joe's caliber."

 

A graduate of East Carolina University College of Business, Clark also
