Please join the Sales & Marketing Society of the Mid-South on January 16, at the Racquet Club as we welcome Shelby County Mayor A. C. Wharton as our Guest Speaker.

From Fortune 500 companies to communities connected by gravel roads, Shelby County has definitely been established as one of our nation’s most diverse counties. And as Mayor, A C Wharton has proven to have the sensitivity and vision needed to lead a community of this size and diversity.

In a time when government is viewed by many as impersonal and untrustworthy, Mayor A C Wharton is helping to transform that image with his signature high energy level, his virtually unmatched work ethic, and his supreme belief in the importance of every citizen.

Elected in August 2002, Mayor Wharton inherited several serious challenges on the county level including incidences of public corruption and historic county debt. However, with an abiding commitment to unite and progress, Mayor Wharton has been successful in turning the tide on these and other pressing issues with sweeping reforms that have gained wide-ranging support.

Mayor Wharton’s overarching goal to make government “more accessible, more sensible and more compassionate” has become the informal mission statement governing the divisions and departments within county government.
