After more than a decade, Hall County Assistant Administrator Katie Crumley has stepped down from her position, according to officials. 

Crumley has worked in various roles for Hall County for 13 years.

“It has been an honor to spend more than 12 years in public service to this community alongside the selfless men and women of Hall County Government,” Crumley said. “I am immensely grateful for the opportunities provided to me and for those in leadership positions who have invested in me. I now look forward to taking some time to fully focus on the people who matter to me most, my family.” 

Crumley started in 2012 as a public information officer before she was promoted to assistant administrator alongside Casey Ramsey in 2023.

Under Crumley, Hall County executed a comprehensive rebranding campaign, established a set of core organizational roles for over 1,800 employees and led a complete website overhaul, according to officials. She also is said to have navigated the county’s communications through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and a major cyber-attack.

“While we understand and respect Katie’s decision to focus on her family, we also acknowledge what a loss this is to Hall County Government,” County Administrator Zach Propes said. “Katie has served the County through several changes and sat at the table with many influential leaders. She will be taking a great deal of knowledge and experience with her and leaving big shoes to fill.”

Hall County is working to fill the position. Crumley could stay through the end of March through the transitional process.
