The Atlanta Regional Commission today announced Rosalind “Roz” Tucker as the agency’s new Chief Human Resources Officer. She reports to Executive Director & CEO Anna Roach and becomes a member of the Executive Leadership Team.
Tucker has been serving as interim CHRO since October. She previously served as Managing Director of ARC’s Mobility Services department, where she led a team of transportation demand management professionals focused on promoting commute alternatives, such as teleworking, carpooling, transit, and walking/bicycling.
“Roz is a dynamic, results-oriented leader who has an exceptional track record of innovation and success,” said Roach. “She has brought exceptional leadership to this position during her interim tenure, demonstrating a deep expertise in human capital development, strategic HR practices, and employee engagement. Roz’s contributions have been instrumental in strengthening our HR initiatives and fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace.”
Among her achievements at ARC, Tucker spearheaded efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic to help metro Atlanta employers establish or expand teleworking programs. This work included designing and implementing a groundbreaking initiative to compile teleworking data to provide business leaders with the data needed to manage through the crisis.
“I am honored to take on this new role,” Tucker said. “ARC is blessed with an incredibly talented staff who share a commitment to making our region a better place to live. It’s a truly inspiring place to work.”
Beyond her role at ARC, Roz extends her influence across professional organizations, serving as President for the Association for Commuter Transportation and as a member of the Society for Human Resources (SHRM). She is also a graduate of Leadership Cobb and ARC’s Regional Leadership Institute.
