The Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Foundation has confirmed that president and CEO Jon Maynard has submitted a letter of resignation.
Brad Mayo, EDF board chair, said Maynard’s resignation came after another “opportunity” came up for Maynard; however, Mayo did not reveal the nature of the new opportunity.
“We appreciate his work and will miss him,” Mayo said.
The Chamber/EDF will soon begin the search for a new president and CEO.
Maynard was hired as President and CEO in 2012. Prior to that, he lived and worked in Starkville.
Maynard could not be reached for comment Thursday.
