In this episode of The Clear Voice, brought to you by Clear Career Professionals, host James Groom sits down with Executive Director Chip VanSteenberg and Clear Associate Vice President Brian Beasley to explore what makes this opportunity both unique and highly accessible to strong government leaders.

Montgomery County is one of the fastest growing counties in Texas, with a rapidly expanding population, complex interagency dynamics, and a 9-1-1 system that plays a critical role in daily public safety. Chip explains how the Deputy Director position supports long-range planning, system modernization, and operational reliability for a network of partner agencies across law enforcement, fire, EMS, and education.

This conversation covers:

• Why a 9-1-1 background is not required for this role • The county’s rapid growth and its impact on emergency communications • How budgeting, policy, and project leadership drive success in this position • The culture of MCECD, built on service, family, and excellence • Major initiatives, system challenges, and long-term strategic planning • What qualities distinguish a strong candidate from a great one • How the Deputy Director will shape the next 20 to 30 years of 9-1-1 service
