Vice Chairman Diaz has been active politically in Memphis where he has worked as a volunteer and organizer of efforts at Kingsbury Middle and High schools in the core of the city.
He believes there needs to be a focus on the urban side because a healthy Downtown Memphis and a healthy urban core for the city means the whole county benefits.
Vice Chairman Geoffrey “Geoff” Diaz is an executive director of Crye-Leike Realtors in the Memphis area. Diaz’s resume includes time as a policy analyst and correspondence aide in the late 1990’s for Massachusetts Republican Governor Paul Celluci and 12 years in Washington, D.C., on the staffs of U.S. Representatives Robert Aderholt of Alabama and Joe Skeen of New Mexico.
He moved to Memphis in support of his wife for her job at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2010. His wife Robyn serves St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as their chief legal adviser.
Although active in the real estate industry, Commissioner Diaz acknowledges that his background is in politics and government.
