Mrs. Brown-Sneed, a Dallas native, is a pioneer in the design, architecture and construction project manager arena. She served the City of Dallas for nearly three decades before retiring as Facilities Manager, head of the Capital Improvements Division of Dallas Public Library. She was the first African American woman to serve as project manager for the architectural division of the City of Dallas Public Works Department. She received acknowledgments from presiding Mayor and two Councilmembers at her retirement celebration. During her tenure, she managed a $55M budget. She participated in establishing a 10-year Library Facilities Master Plan, which recommended a $144M budget to address new, replacements and major renovations of Dallas Public Libraries. Of the proposed budget, City Council adopted $101.5M and presented it to voters over a 2-bond program election cycle (2003/$55M and 2006/$46M). These projects have been completed for current and future citizens of Dallas to enjoy for many years to come. Her most esteemed work was restoration of Dallas' historical gems such as the Hall of State building at Fair Park and the former Dallas Convention Center. While her most rewarding was building new libraries in the southern sector and throughout the City of Dallas. Mrs. Brown-Sneed's creativity and knowledge is immeasurable asset to the team. She continues in retirement to serve and make her community extremely proud. Jeannette joined Simply Custom in as a partner in 2006and has been instrumental in the launch of the commercial construction and development platform as well as the custom home design.
