Meet the City Manager

Delphone D. Hubbard brings more than 25 years of distinguished public service and executive leadership to his role as City Manager of Little Rock. A former Fire Chief with deep operational experience and a passion for servant leadership, Hubbard now leads the City’s administrative functions with a strategic focus on innovation, efficiency, and community-centered outcomes.

A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Hubbard holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from LeMoyne-Owen College and a Master of Business Administration from Webster University. His strong business foundation underpins a management style rooted in accountability, empowerment, and fiscal responsibility.

Guided by his faith and a lifelong commitment to service, Hubbard is inspired by the words of Matthew 25:40: “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

He leads with this principle in mind, seeking to build a city where every resident feels seen, supported, and connected to opportunity. As City Manager, his vision is clear: to foster a stronger, safer, and more sustainable Little Rock—one that leverages operational excellence and inclusive leadership to deliver meaningful results for all.
