Kent County
Brilliant Team Player

Jennifer Kimball James joined Kent County as Deputy County Administrator in October 2020. She provides leadership to County departments, manages special projects for the Board of Commissioners and supports the County Administrator. Jenny supported Kent County’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic, stating, “We’ve succeeded in identifying shelter locations, securing funding and pivoting to provide the best service possible as the status of the pandemic changes.” Jenny continues to build relationships and partnerships within the county government and the community to enhance services to residents. When it comes to being a team player, she says, “The process of learning, problem solving and celebrating successes is a lot more fun with a group than by yourself! I’ll never know it all and I need the talents and perspectives of others to support me. When I surround myself with a team, I’m amazed at how productive and enjoyable it is to tackle a challenge together.”
