The Saline County Board of County Commissioners announced today the appointment of David Flaherty II as the next director of the Saline County Livestock & Expo Center.
Flaherty has 14 years of experience working at the facility and most recently as the noxious weed supervisor.
Flaherty will be responsible for the Livestock & Expo Center grounds and buildings, coordinating the scheduling of events, management of leased County farm ground, and other administrative tasks to ensure the successful operation of the facility. He will be working alongside the current director, Rick Lamer, to ensure continuity before Lamer retires in March.
“I’m happy to accept the position. I know I have some big shoes to fill, but I’m excited to accept the challenge. We have a great staff at the Expo Center and I’m proud to continue to work with them,” Flaherty said.
County Commission Chairman Rodger Sparks noted, “Mr. Flaherty will do a fine job and we are happy that we had an internal candidate to promote to this position.”
