From: Bill Cahill Sent: Monday, September 28, 2015 11:23 AM To: City Council <CCouncil@cityofloveland.org> Cc: Management Team <MTeam@cityofloveland.org> Subject: Betsey Hale Leaving Us for New York A few minutes ago, Betsey Hale, Economic Development Director, gave me a letter of resignation from the City of Loveland effective October 16. Betsey has accepted a new position as President of the Three Rivers Development Corporation located in Corning, New York. She will begin work there in early November. This is a great opportunity for her to return to New York and be close to her parents, who will greatly benefit from Betsey being closer to them. She will be able to spend much more time with her folks in this stage of their lives. Their gain is our loss. Betsey has served Loveland since 2006 and has brought exciting new economic opportunities to Loveland. She has made a difference in our community and will be greatly missed. Betsey became our first Economic Development Director in 2011 and has created a team in that Department, and led them to significant achievements. She leaves behind an accomplished body of work, and has always done that with boundless enthusiasm and love for her work and community. She has always made the Energizer Bunny look sluggish. We will miss Betsey but please join me in wishing her well on this next step in her life journey! Thank you. Bill William D.
