MONTICELLO, NY (January 10, 2010) – The Board of Directors for the Partnership for Economic Development in Sullivan County (Partnership) has appointed Allan Scott as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He had been serving in the role on an interim basis since November.

Partnership Board Chairman Josh Sommers said, “The Board was unanimous in supporting Allan as our next CEO. His successful record of helping close deals with companies that consider Sullivan County made him the natural choice.”     

Mr. Scott will also continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the County of Sullivan Industrial Development Agency (IDA). 

Similar to the management structure of the IDA, the Partnership will recruit a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to assist Mr. Scott with day-to-day operations. In the case of the Partnership, the newly created position of COO will work with Mr. Scott on the development of corporate attraction and membership programs.
