To the Editor:

On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to express congratulations to Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) Assistant Deputy Commissioner and Rockdale County resident Angelique B. McClendon on her appointment by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve as the new commissioner of the Georgia DDS.

A Georgia Bar member since 2004, Ms. McClendon began her legal career as an assistant solicitor for DeKalb County and in 2008 became an assistant attorney general for the State of Georgia. She first joined DDS as general counsel in 2015 and has provided legal guidance on several of the department’s large-scale state initiatives and modernization efforts.

By accepting this appointment, Angelique McClendon demonstrates her continued commitment to public service. We wish her well in this new position as Georgia DDS commissioner.

Sincerely,
 
Ivy N. Cadle
President, State Bar of Georgia
