“For years, Rhonda has been far more than our General Counsel. She has served as a trusted advisor, respected leader, and strategic business partner who helped play a critical role in shaping Dollar General’s trajectory. Her integrity, judgment, and dedication to Serving Others will leave a lasting impact across the entire organization, the Company’s Board of Directors, the executive leadership team and especially those who have had the privilege of working closely with her,” said Todd Vasos, Dollar General’s Chief Executive Officer. “I want to express our deepest gratitude to Rhonda for her many years of service and innumerable contributions.

Through these teams, she has helped strengthen Dollar General’s governance and compliance practices, build meaningful relationships with policymakers and stakeholders, protect and enhance the corporate reputation, and advance initiatives that support employees, customers, communities, and shareholders.
In addition to serving as a trusted source of strategic counsel to the Company’s Board of Directors and executive leadership team, Taylor has invested in developing strong teams and mentoring future Dollar General leaders, creating a culture of integrity, collaboration, and excellence across her organization and beyond. Taylor’s impact also extends beyond the business into the lives of Dollar General employees and communities as a Board of Director on the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and the Dollar General Employee Assistance Foundation for many years.
“I will be forever grateful for the opportunities afforded me over the past 26 years at Dollar General. Most of all, I am proud of the extraordinary teams I have been fortunate enough to lead and support, and of all they do every day to advance the Company’s mission of Serving Others,” said Taylor. “Todd’s direction to his team has always been to leave things better than we found them, and I hope that is what I have done.”
