The Greater San Marcos Partnership has launched a national search for a new president, the regional economic development organization for Hays and Caldwell counties announced Wednesday.
The search begins following the departure of former President Adriana Cruz, who became the State of Texas’ Executive Director of Economic Development and Tourism on Wednesday.
“The region has experienced tremendous economic growth during my six and a half years as president. The organization has been instrumental in assisting Amazon, Best Buy E-Commerce Sales Center, and SmileDirectClub locate to the region, just to name a few,” Cruz said in a statement. “The GSMP Board is committed to securing the ideal candidate with the skills, experience, and proven track record that will keep the region on its trajectory of smart growth.”
The GSMP Board has created two committees to assist in the selection process. Members of the committee represent the City of San Marcos, Hays and Caldwell counties and Texas State University.
The GSMP plans to conclude the nationwide search at the end of February 2020.
