After less than five months on the job, the new executive director of Our Place Society is packing her bags.
Sandra Danco left her a job in Edmonton to take the position left by Rev. Al Tysick, on July 4.
"I just found a better opportunity," Danco explained. Her last day is Nov. 25, when she takes a new position out of province, which, she says is more in line with her career goals.
Society board chair, Shannon Renault, said it's a "bit of a disappointment."
With Christmas approaching, "we're at a hugely busy time of year," she added.
The Board will start a search of an interim director next week to provide leadership during the transition until a permanent replacement is found.
