Effective December 19, 2017, Memphis Light, Gas and Water President
and Chief Executive Officer Jerry Collins Jr. will retire as head of the
utility.
“Working for MLGW and
the City of Memphis has been a great experience, however, after 30 years of
public service it is now time for me to spend time with my family.” Collins said. “I’d like to
thank the 2,500-plus employees who I have enjoyed serving with to improve the
quality of life for residents through the efficient and safe delivery of
electricity, natural gas and water the last 10 years,” he added.
"I appreciate
the excellent leadership and service that Jerry has provided over the years
across several divisions of city government," said Mayor Jim
Strickland. "Because of his skill, the largest publicly owned
utility in the country gives customers the best service at the lowest cost, and
continues to protect our most valuable resource—our drinking water. I
wish Jerry well in his retirement."
Collins has served as
President and CEO of MLGW since 2007. He is the 10th person to lead
the utility. A native Memphian, Collins previously served as Director of Public
Works for the City of Memphis.
