FARGO — After a series of meetings on Friday, March 8, the Red River Regional Dispatch Center Board of Authority has selected Amanda Glasoe as the next director of the Red River Regional Dispatch Center.
Glasoe has worked at the Red River Regional Dispatch Center for 20 years and has been assistant director for nine years. She was the only internal applicant in the search.

While the Board of Authority was impressed with all three candidates, they chose Glasoe for her ability to lead the changing organization, said David Ebinger, Clay County commissioner and Board of Authority chair.
The Red River Regional Dispatch Center implemented a new form of governance in recent years and
plans to construct a new building,
he said.
“I think she’s going to be a great leader through some of these transitions,” Ebinger said.
Glasoe is the provisional selection, Ebinger said, until hiring paperwork is completed. Because Glasoe is an internal candidate, her hiring is not contingent on the results of a background investigation.
Glasoe will replace Mary Phillippi, who held the job since 2015. Phillippi is
to pursue a job teaching leadership courses for public safety personnel in partnership with former Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney.
Phillippi was the assistant director before becoming director.
The Red River Regional Dispatch Center serves Cass County, Fargo and West Fargo in North Dakota and Moorhead and Clay County in Minnesota.
