Henry Hanka Resigns As Special Projects Manager Of America's Byways Resource Center
The America’s Byways Resource Center announced today that Henry Hanka, Special Projects Manager for the past five years, has announced his resignation, effective February 5, 2010.
As a number of large-scale projects overseen by Hanka for the past several years are nearing completion, he believes the timing is right for him to close this chapter of his professional career and to explore other priorities and interests.
“During my past ten years at the Resource Center, I have had the privilege of working with some of the finest, most professional and dedicated people of my entire career,” said Hanka.
He continued, “While the Resource Center staff will continue to serve the byway community, I find it necessary to devote more time to my family and personal responsibilities while pursuing other opportunities which may be available.”
Before accepting the Special Projects Manager position at the America’s Byways Resource Center in 2005, Hanka had been the Director of the America’s Byways Resource Center from 2001 to 2004 and the Executive Director of the Arrowhead Regional Development Commission from 1991 to 2001, the Resource Center’s parent organization. It was under Hanka’s leadership that the Arrowhead Regional Development Commission established the America’s Byways Resource Center with the Federal Highway Administration in 1999.
“Henry has worked on a number of high profile projects, including the Public Awareness Plan and its implementation. We’ve all benefited from his good work,” said Michelle Johnson, Director. “He will be missed.”
