Mayor Madeline Rogero today announced her appointments of two Deputy Directors. Boyce Evans will begin serving as Deputy Director of Finance, effective Sept. 3, and Fiona McAnally started this week as the City’s Deputy Director of Communications.

Evans has served the City as Purchasing Agent since March 2006 after a career in the U.S. Army. He held finance positions during his military service, including a stint as the finance director for Fort Campbell, Ky., where he was responsible for a $271 million budget. Evans retired as a Lieutenant Colonel.

With this City promotion, Evans will continue to oversee the Purchasing Division operations and will focus on the budget and other areas of the Finance Department with Finance Department Senior Director Jim York.

McAnally was appointed by the Mayor as Deputy Director of Communications, a position previously held by Eric Vreeland, who was promoted Senior Director of Communications and Government Relations. 

McAnally was the Knox County Health Department’s Director of Community Assessment and Planning and has a background in management and public policy, including positions in Washington, D.C., working with public officials to communicate budget and policy priorities.
