The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County announced Tuesday that it is searching for a new executive director.
Ed Stevenson, the current executive director, will assist in finding his replacement. Stevenson will also assume a new role with the forest preserve as executive adviser sometime next year.
We re taking a fresh look at our staff leadership structure, said Stevenson, who has served as executive director since November 2016. I wouldn t call it stepping back, and I m certainly not leaving the organization.
Stevenson said he recommended the new position to the forest preserve board. It was in part because the district s leadership has been severely reduced through the years, he said.
