The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary will soon be looking for a new chief administrator. Mark Andison, who has held the role since 2017, has announced he will retire in March.
Andison has been with the RDKB for over 20 years, and was previously deputy CAO and head of planning.
Board chair Andy Morel called the news “bittersweet.”
“‘Bitter’ as our organization is going to miss Mark’s steady, calm and very capable hand on the wheel of the RDKB ship, steering the complexities and rapid changes of our organization,” Morel said.
“‘Sweet’ [because] his many years of contribution to local government has been enriching for his professional career and now, I’m sure he will enjoy his retirement with time and many continuing interests and pursuits going forward.”
The board has not yet met to discuss finding Andison’s successor.
