The executive director of the Flint Hills Regional Council has announced she’s stepping down from the role.
Christy Rodriguez submitted her resignation last week after her husband Adrian recently accepted a Vice President position at Texas A&M University similar to that of his former job at K-State.
Rodriguez, who had been in the role since May 2020, told KMAN in an email that she recently relocated to Corpus Christi as a result and will continue with FHRC until Dec. 10. She had agreed to continue working with the council through several critical deadlines.
The board will begin working on next steps in the coming days to find a successor.
Rodriguez also had previously served as program director for the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce’s Region Reimagined initiative. The framework of that, she says, is being folded into the Flint Hills Economic Development District Plan Update, which the council will be submitting to the Economic Development Administration on Nov. 30.
