PRESS RELEASE: Farnham leaving as FRA director

AURORA |   Jill Sikora Farnham, Executive Director of the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority since February 2004, announced she is resigning her position in January 2011.
Farnham is moving in a new career direction focused on her financial background.  She is working on several options that have recently presented themselves.
“I am enormously proud of what we have accomplished at Fitzsimons and want to do everything I can to assure a smooth leadership transition,” said Farnham.
Aurora Mayor Ed Tauer, Chairman of the Authority’s board of directors said, “Jill has been a terrific leader for the FRA.  The City and the bioscience industry are grateful for her service.  She has led the FRA though a period of complex challenges and significant accomplishments.  She will be missed.”
The Authority intends to initiate a search for a new executive director after completing an updated strategic planning process over the next several months.
Denise Brown, former Executive Director of the Colorado BioScience Association, will serve as interim Executive Director for the Authority beginning in February until a permanent executive director is selected.
