Walker also has been recognized by numerous agencies and organization for his continuing work in juvenile reform and juvenile justice, including the Louisiana Bar Association, the Greater Shreveport Chamber of Commerce and the National Juvenile Justice Network.
“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. We look forward to Clay continuing that work and more in this position.”
