DR. ANTHONY WADE recently retired from his position as the chief human resources officer for Cumberland County. He previously served the county as the director of
human resources. Prior to that, Wade was the director of the Fayetteville-Cumberland Human Relations Department and Commission. After retiring from the United States Air Force, Wade served in human resource and relations, and diversity, equity, and inclusion for 28 years across three states.
“As I reflect on a long civilian career across multiple states, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to an excellent group of past and present C-Suite senior executives for whom I was honored to work as a member of their leadership team,” Wade said
in a LinkedIn post. “Those individuals are: Amy Cannon, Douglas Hewett, ICMA-CM, Rochelle D. Small-Toney, MPA, ICMA-CM, Jay Reinstein, Dr. Angel W., Jay Toland, CMA, Dr. Jennifer Wimbish, Mitchell Johnson, Rashad Young, Bob Morgan, Ben Brown, Carla Elam-Floyd, Allen O’Neal, and Dora Harrison. The success of the departments/divisions for which I was responsible benefited greatly from the support of the aforementioned individuals and I am very grateful for their active support, counsel, vision, and friendship. Again, thanks.”
