Partnership members, it was announced yesterday that Mark Williams, our executive director, will be leaving the organization in September and I will be assuming the role of interim executive director upon Mark’s departure. In the remaining weeks, Mark, myself, and the entire Partnership team will work together to complete or transfer projects to ensure a smooth transition.
As development director, I have had an enriching opportunity to work alongside Mark for the past three years. He has been a wonderful mentor and provided guidance to deepen my skills as an economic developer. I look forward to leading this organization alongside our dedicated, talented team and continuing to support our government and business partners in our shared goal of economic development and growth.
Yesterday, a message from Mark Gridley, chairperson of the Partnership’s Board of Directors, was distributed to our partners and membership. If you did not have the opportunity to view the message, please see the video below.
Andrea Schultz Winter is currently the Development Director for the Greater Freeport Partnership. She can be reached at awinter@greaterfreeport.com or 815-233-1354.
