Jim Martin, the chief administrative officer, for the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George will be retiring at the end of 2023.
The CAO since 2007, Martin has been with the Regional District since 1994 when he joined the newly-formed Environmental Services Department to support the implementation of the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan.
“Jim’s leadership and contributions have left an indelible mark on the regional district,” Lara Beckett, chair of the regional district board, said in a release. “He has navigated us through challenging times and been a calm steady presence in supporting the board and staff. His leadership will be greatly missed, but the impact he’s made will resonate for years to come.”
The board will begin the process of searching for a new regional district CAO this fall.
