The woman who led Arizona’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has resigned effective immediately.
Wendy Smith-Reeve, director of the Arizona Division of Emergency Management, submitted her resignation Saturday and it was accepted by Gov. Doug Ducey’s office.
In Smith-Reeve’s resignation letter, she cited concerns that her role is being addressed by other agencies and her “presence and function is duplicative†during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The state’s emergency operations will now be directed by Maj. Gen. Michael T. McGuire.
Anthony Cox, who has served as deputy director since 2017, now is the acting director.
