Gary Gibson Appointed as New County Administrator
At its Feb. 11, 2020 meeting, the Lake County Board approved a two-year employment agreement with Gary Gibson to become Lake County’s next County Administrator.
Gibson has been serving as Interim County Administrator since September of 2019 while the board undertook a national search to fill the position permanently.
“I am really delighted to put forward the appointment of Gary Gibson as our new County Administrator," said Hart. "Every single person I spoke to--including Lake County staff members, residents and community leaders--who have had the pleasure of working with Gary have been incredibly impressed with him and his collaborative leadership style.”
Other county board members echoed Chair Hart's remarks. "I've had the pleasure of working with Gary on a number of initiatives" said Board Member and Legislative Committee Chair John Wasik, "I have no doubt he will promote a culture of compassion, innovation and collaboration."
Prior to returning to Lake County in September, Gibson previously worked for Lake County for 23 years, most recently as Manager of the Workforce Development Board. During Gibson's tenure, he also served as Assistant County Administrator for 11 years, and was the Interim County Administrator from 2001 to 2002.
“I am honored and humbled beyond belief to be named as County Administrator," said Gibson. “Lake County employees are exceptionally dedicated and caring professionals, and we have a great leadership team in place with whom I am honored to be working alongside on behalf of our residents.”
