Bob Dodson
Mayor

I have been in public service most of my adult
life. Over 31 years of this service was in financial management
and accounting in the Federal Government. I count myself fortunate
to have held several positions which provided what I thought was
unbeatable satisfaction. But I was wrong, and unless you have served
in volunteer positions to any extent, it will be difficult to understand
it when I say that volunteering my time for this little Town exceeds
anything I ever imagined. We have a lot of great people in Seven
Devils and most of them make it a pleasure to serve them. As you
can imagine, some don't make it quite so pleasant, but the common
thread that runs through all of our conversations is our love and
and appreciation of the opportunity to live in these beautiful
mountains and our desire to protect them.
Here in Seven Devils, this love and appreciation is manifested
in the Town's vision statement. In essence, we recognize that the
Town's natural setting is the stage where all aspects of community
life play out and on which they depend, and it has been and will
continue to be my promise and commitment to work to ensure "a
sustainable region of beauty that enhances the quality of life
for all residents and visitors."
While in my current position, I am here to serve you. You will
not find me at Town Hall every day. That is the responsibility
of our small staff of dedicated full-time employees who are doing
a great job; we are fortunate to have them. They are our first
responders. I also want to recognize the invaluable people of our
Town who volunteer their time to help keep Seven Devils operating.
We could not do without them. I am always available to help you
if I can. Well, not always, but within reason. My e-mail address
is bdodson@apptechnc.net.
