Cindy Cameron Ogle has served as City
Manager of the City of Gatlinburg since 1988, the longest
tenure in the history of City Government. Ogle also served as the Assistant
City Manager for 10 years.
As Chief Executive Officer, Ogle has consistently developed programs
and implemented projects that have improved the quality of life for the
Gatlinburg community. Fiscally responsible for a budget of more
than $50 million and a team of 400 City employees, Ogle has also
greatly improved the day-to-day operations of the City Government by the
successful administration of Strategic Management Planning and Capital
Improvements Programming.
A leader in the community, Ogle is a graduate of the inaugural
Leadership Sevier Class of 1997 as well as a graduate of the 1995 University
of Tennessee Local Government Leadership Program. She also served
as the Co-Chair of the Sevier County United Way Campaign in 1998.
With tourism at the heart of Gatlinburg's success as a mountain
resort community, Ogle has often been a facilitator of programs that
have boosted the local economy such as the Smoky Mountain Lights program
in Gatlinburg. She also played an instrumental role in the
recruitment of the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, one of the largest
and most visited aquariums in the country.
As an administrator with a passion for the grants process, Ogle can
also be credited for securing grant monies for the Riverwalk/Underground
Utilities Projects, the Parkway Widening Project and the McMahan and
Aquarium Parking Garages for the City of Gatlinburg.
Recognized for her effective and professional leadership, Ogle was
named City Manager of the Year in 2002 by the Tennessee City Management
Association. She was also chosen by the Young Women's Christian
Association as a finalist at the elite YWCA Tribute to Women Ceremony in
Knoxville.
A graduate of the University of Tennessee with a Master's Degree in
Public Administration, Ogle is a native of Knoxville, Tennessee.
