Richard Heath, the administrator of the Town of Algoma in Winnebago County, is set to become the next Oconto County administrator.
The county’s Executive Committee has a meeting set for 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 15 to approve appointing Heath as the successor to Erik Pritzl, whose last day on the job was Wednesday.
“(Heath) has quite a bit of experience in the administrative field and local government, and some other facets that he has worked with over the years,” County Board Chairman Alan Sleeter said. “We felt he was a good fit.”
Health has been the administrator for the Town of Algoma since November 2019, according to his LinkedIn social media page.
Prior to that, he had roles in Northern Arizona University. He was the associate director of strategic partnerships for nearly two years, where he helped market and promote the university, and oversaw the day-to-day operations of the NAU Prescott Valley Campus as its campus executive director for a little more than a year.
Other jobs he lists are executive director of the Greater Prescott Regional Economic Partnership, a nonprofit organization that aims to attract new business into the region; executive director/economic development planner for the Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission in Green Bay; and executive director of the Clark County Economic Development Corporation in Loyal.
