On behalf of the board of the CNFC, I want to thank Eric for his 9 years of steering the ship into smooth waters! Eric has done an amazing job in his role of General Manager, and his inclusive approach of staff in decsion making has eased this period of transition as we head into summer. With existing supervisors taking on more leadership roles and responsibilities, we have a grace period for filling his shoes. Having said that, we would like to get the search underway.
Below is the job posting that the board has put together. Tidelines is it's first public debut, and we will be casting the net further afield soon.
Eric and his family will be missed by both the Coop and the Cortes community. Stay tuned for the offical good bye party later in June when we can hopefully gather safely outside for an appropriate send off!
