Randy Camp, administrative director of the state court system, announced Monday he is leaving the position because of personal matters requiring his time and attention in West Tennessee.
“For the past several months I have been dealing with personal matters involving my family in West Tennessee,” Camp said. “These matters have now reached a level of complexity that will require even more of my attention over the coming weeks, perhaps months.”
Chief Justice William M. Barker said the Supreme Court was “saddened to learn of the decision.”
“Each member of the court appreciates Randy’s dedication and service,” Barker said. “We understand that family matters must take priority in our lives, but we are sorry to see him leave.”
Camp said he did not feel that he could devote the time required to “successfully perform the duties associated with the position I hold for the Administrative Office of the Courts,” prompting his decision to leave.
“I want to express my appreciation to the Supreme Court and the AOC staff for allowing me the opportunity, honor and pleasure of serving the judicial branch and court system as director,” Camp said.
AOC Deputy Director Elizabeth (Libby) Sykes has been named acting director..
