Tug Hill Commission Executive Director to Retire
06/16/15 10:50am

    Tug Hill- The following press release was issued by the Tug Hill Commission
    regarding the upcoming retirement of the Executive Director.



     FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                      June 15, 2015
    Contact: Jan Bogdanowicz, Chairman                       (315) 785-2380

                         Tug Hill Commission Executive Director to Retire

    NYS Tug Hill Commission Chairman Jan Bogdanowicz announced today that
    Executive Director John K. Bartow, Jr., is retiring from the Tug Hill Commission
    and State service effective the end of July. Mr. Bartow has served as the
    Commission's Executive Director since 2004. His previous work experience
    included many years at the NYS Department of State, both in their Local
    Government and Coastal Resources Divisions. During his tenure the
    Commission celebrated its 40th anniversary, grew attendance at its annual
    Local Government Conference to over 700, and worked closely with the three
    Regional Economic Development Councils that each include portions of Tug
    Hill.

    "John served the Commission and the Tug Hill Region extremely well for over a
    decade, and his leadership and energy will be missed," Mr. Bogdanowicz
    stated. "We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and thank him for
    his service to the Region."

    The Commission is now beginning the process to hire a new Executive
    Director. In its 42-year history, the Commission has been fortunate to have only
    three Executive Directors, all of whom left the Commission upon their
    retirement from the State.

    Bogdanowicz emphasized that "The Tug Hill Region is a unique area of New
    York State and the Commission provides critical services to its 61 rural towns
    and villages. Finding a dedicated  person who can forward our mission of
    'Helping local officials and citizens shape the future of Tug Hill' is of the utmost
    importance to myself and all the Commissioners."
