Our Teams

The Executive Leadership Team serves as the liaison between our teams and Commissioner Rodney Ellis. They ensure that teams are coordinating and collaborating with each other as well as with other Precincts and the County Judge’s Office.

Commissioner Ellis’s Engagement Team is comprised of seasoned Executive Assistants and Security Professionals who are focused on scheduling and planning for the Commissioner. They ensure a smooth transition with all of his travel plans and direct communication between the Office of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and all of Harris County Departments. 

The Budget & Finance Team plays a crucial role in ensuring the financial health and accountability of the Office of Commissioner Ellis. It enables the office to effectively serve its community by managing and analyzing our funding sources, supporting our vendors through prompt payment, and establishing internal controls.

The Communications Team keeps you in the know. They write, develop graphics, and send out important information to the press, through social media, and directly to you through both electronic and snail mail. If you are reading anything from the Office of Commissioner Rodney Ellis – including this website – it was probably written by someone on this team!

The Community Affairs & Advocacy Team are the people you see in your neighborhood. Coordinators from this department organize community meetings and events, coordinate with local organizations like the Houston Food Bank, and often canvass door-to-door to inform residents about important resources.

The Development & Infrastructure Team keeps the Precinct looking beautiful. They handle roads, bridges, and parks throughout the area. Whether it is helping design a brand new park or keeping streets safe during hurricanes and storms, the development and infrastructure department ensures that all of our residents have safe roads, clean parks, and beautiful spaces to enjoy.
