“I am pleased to welcome Clay Walker as the Parish’s next assistant parish administrator,” said Erica R. Bryant, incoming Caddo Parish Administrator. “Mr. Walker brings a wealth of experience to the position and has a proven track record of working alongside Parish staff and with the Caddo Parish Commission to ensure that Parish resources are best being used to serve the citizens and employees of Caddo Parish.
