I have resigned my position as President & CEO of the St. Cloud Downtown Council, effective July 7, 2017. I have accepted new position as Government & Member Relations Director at an extremely reputable and growing Credit Union.
My two goals prior to leaving the DTC included market-rate housing and riverfront development. The housing will be completed this summer. The RiverWalk plans are underway, and I'm confident a mixed-use development along the Mississippi is not far behind.
I hope you are as proud as I am of all we accomplished together and the organization just celebrated its 25th anniversary! This job has been my dream job; a role that challenged me with new and exciting opportunities, where I felt we made a difference in our community. My Board guided me through this journey, and I will be forever grateful. My life has clearly been enriched from working with them and all of you.
I am grateful for your belief in me. Thank you for allowing me to represent this amazing organization for 16 years. I'll never forget this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Yours sincerely,
Pegg
