Houston County is expected to hire Dothan Fire Captain Mark Powell as its next EMA director.
"We had a strong group of candidates," Houston County Commission chairman Brandon Shoupe said."It was a difficult decision for me to make."
More than 60 people applied for the position, and last week, the list was narrowed down to three. Dillon Ward, the Southeast Health Emergency Management Coordinator, Houston County EMA's current deputy director Leigh Martin, and Powell were interviewed on Monday.Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS Feed | Omny Studio "It was a tough process to get down to the three candidates," Shoupe said.
"He was very calm and thoughtful in all of his responses to our questions," Shoupe said."The responses were great and well thought out. He knew what he was talking about, and we felt he had a strong background and management presence about him. You have to be a good manager when managing people, so I think that's why the commission chose to go in that direction."
