Dickerson was appointed as the interim manager in December while she continued to serve as the town planner. With Dickerson taking the town manager’s job on a full-time basis, the position of Manteo town planner had been formally advertised as available.
“Town Manager Dickerson not only brings a lot of experience to the table, but also valuable knowledge and history of the community as a native of Dare County. Throughout her career, she has been and continues to be a dedicated public servant,” town leaders said in a statement.
Prior to her work at the town, she served as the state director for former U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, a research assistant for the North Carolina General Assembly, and district liaison for former Rep. Brad Miller, a Democrat who represented the 13th District.
Dickerson is a Manteo High School graduate and has a bachelor’s in political science from the University of North Carolina Greensboro. She also is a graduate of the municipal and county administration program of the UNC School of Government and is a member of the International City/County Management Association.
