Executive Director Announces Retirement

Jim Meynard, the Executive Director of the GFPF, advised the Trustees at a recent meeting of the Board that he will retire effective April 30, 2014. "I have accomplished all that was asked of me from the outset, and then some. It has been a most fulfilling and rewarding experience, but now, it is time for me to go," said Jim. In keeping with an established transition and succession plan, the Board promoted Morgan Wurst, Assistant Treasurer, to the interim position of Deputy Director, wherein he will begin to assume some of Jim's responsibilities over the course of the next several months. Jim and Toni will be moving into their new home in Acworth, Georgia, where he is planning to spend a lot of time remodeling and a little time fishing and golfing.
