“I’m sure that it is difficult to find well educated, refined, articulate, open minded, forward thinking and experienced people to accept Town Manager or Economic Development roles, especially in rural communities. And even more difficult to find one, I believe, with a desire to truly and genuinely serve the public. Joe is the rare find. My 9 month public/private relationship with him, and 30 years of institutional and entrepreneurial experience gives me the unique authority and credibility to promote Joe. I recommend that you hire him immediately and let him apply his trades to your Town.”

“During my career of over 26 years at the Town of Springerville, I have seen a lot of town managers come and go. Over the past two years, the things that struck me most about Joe’s leadership was his goal setting ability, his work ethic, and his willingness to take the time to really understand the day-to-day workings of each department.”

“I observed almost immediately that he (Mr. Jarvis) develops an understanding of the topic very quickly. He listens intently, asks the appropriate questions, does his own independent research which leads to a knowledgeable decision. Mr. Jarvis is not one to jump to conclusions prior to obtaining the facts. While he may be relatively young, Mr. Jarvis is a master of verbal communication. I have had the opportunity to observe his discussions and interviews with local, state and federal officials as well as potential vendors. Simply put, he conveys his thoughts precisely and is able to get his message across very effectively.”
