This just in from the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association:
Bob Waldrop resigns as BBRSDA executive director
Robert Heyano, President of the Board of Directors of the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association, announced today that the board has accepted the resignation of its executive director, Bob Waldrop, who has served in that capacity since inception of the association. The board wishes Bob well in his next endeavors.
The board has appointed Mike LaRussa, who presently serves as the Treasurer of the association, to serve as interim executive director until a permanent successor can be named. The board is currently interviewing candidates and is confident that it will name a successor within 60 days.
Just received the email from BBRSDA.
ReplyDeleteInteresting timing. This news of Waldrop's resignation comes 2 days before the Boston Seafood Show, where the BBRSDA is slated to have a substantial presence.
Per the BBRSDA press release on show participation:
"For the first time, Bristol Bay sockeye salmon will be featured at Seafood Expo North America (formerly the International Boston Seafood Show), taking place March 16th – 18th in Boston, MA.
North America’s largest seafood exposition, this three-day trade show attracts over 19,000 seafood buyers and suppliers from around the world. During the Expo, the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association (BBRSDA) will be hosting Booth #2518 on the show floor and participating in a panel discussion about sustainable seafood brands at 12pm on Sunday, March 16th. The BBRSDA will also be throwing a Bristol Bay reception at the New England Aquarium for fishery stakeholders and supporters. "

Waiting to hear more developments.Is Waldrop still going to participate in these events in Boston as our representative? Why the sudden resignation? The timing is terrible for "our brand". What happened at the BBRSDA Board meeting in Anchorage on March 6-7th that might have led to Waldrop's departure?
