Dr. Bill Pammer, who has served as the Director of Sullivan County's Division of Planning and Environmental Management for the past 5 years, is leaving to take a tenured position with the Dept. of Public Management at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan. (As part of that job, he'll also be running the master's program in public administration at West Point.)
Personally, I'm going to miss Bill. He's brought a level of professionalism to planning here in the county. He's been at the forefront of a number of key issues like gas drilling, and been instrumental in a number of green initiatives in Sullivan. Over the years, I've been to a number of forums and meetings where Bill has spoken, and been impressed by his understanding of complex issues and the often competing interests of different constituencies here.
I wish him all the best in the next chapter of his life.
