11-12-19 envision greater fdl names interim president, ceo

The Envision Greater Fond du Lac Board has named an interim CEO.  Director of Outreach and Client Services Jim Cleveland will assume the interim role when president and CEO Cecilia Harry steps down next month.   Envision board member Tom Schneider says the board made the  announcement to the organization’s staff Monday morning.  “Jim Cleveland has been with the AC, with the FCEDC and with the merger, so he’s been with both of them and understands the programming and demonstrated some really good leadership,”  Schneider told WFDL news.  Harry announced last week that she is resigning after two years on the job after accepting a similar post in Colorado Springs.    She is the third top leader at the organization to leave in the last several months.   But Schneider says all three were recruited by other communities.  Schneider says  he is confident the Harry has helped  to lay down the foundation to make the new organization work.  “When you merge two organizations, there’s a lot of structural things, a lot of governance.  She (Harry) had to focus on that and when she came in she wanted to advance the economic development faster, but a lot of things had to go on and she did a fantastic job.”
