Arrelle D. Anderson

Arrelle D. Anderson is the first woman Chief Operating Officer (COO) on the Board of Commissioners in Clayton County (Georgia) Government. Embodying Howard University’s tradition of academic excellence, Anderson earned her bachelor of arts in journalism from Howard with an advertising concentration. She earned a master of business administration  in Marketing/Entrepreneurship at the University of Georgia, and a Certificate in Project Management from Georgetown University. Prior to her recent appointment, Anderson was the Owner/Chief Strategist of Chandlerson Strategic Management in Washington, D.C., where she led operational and strategic initiatives for numerous teams in several District of Columbia government agencies, including the District of Columbia Public Schools. As COO, Anderson oversees the operational functions of 22 departments, which includes Public Safety, Community Services, Economic Development and the Clayton County Prison. Anderson empowers leaders to manage change from an operational perspective as she holds directors accountable daily for ensuring that their outcomes are aligned with the vision of the Board of Commissioners. She primarily serves as the second-in-command to the Chairman of the Board, and oversees the execution of countywide initiatives that will advance Clayton County as a whole. Since her appointment, Anderson has implemented the Clayton County Economic Development Collaborative, which focuses on designing the economic landscape for the county through joint efforts with each municipality in the county. Anderson prides herself on maintaining a work/life balance and makes time to volunteer, travel, read fiction novels, and spend time with family and friends. She is a native of Jersey City, New Jersey, but is proud to call Washington, D.C. AND Georgia her home as she fulfills her appointment as Chief Operating Officer.
