Springfield Appoints New Assistant City Manager
SPRINGFIELD TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – The City of Springfield has announced that Candice Tillman, the city’s public affairs coordinator, has been promoted to the position, Assistant City Manager.
Tillman has over 11 years of experience working in local government including previous management experience during her tenure with the City of Clarksville. She joined the City of Springfield as the public affairs coordinator in 2019.
“We are excited to have Candice step into this role,” said City Manager Ryan Martin. “She has the experience and a perspective to bring to this role that will help move the city forward, and will be a great addition to our management team.”
Back in November of 2019, Springfield announced that Tillman had been hired as the city’s new Public Affairs Coordinator.
