Mercer will succeed Chuck Bean, who has led the organization for 10 years and is stepping down in February.
COG Board Chair Christian Dorsey, who serves as vice chair of the Arlington County Board, praised Mercer’s experience bringing leaders together and brokering regional agreements as assets for the organization as it advances transportation, housing, and climate goals.
Mercer “possesses all of the attributes that you could ask for to be a successful leader in our complex, tri-state region,” Dorsey said. He said Mercer’s background will serve the organization well as it pushes regional priorities in transportation, the environment, housing and land use planning, and public safety.
