PORT TOWNSEND — Geoff Crump, executive director of Olympic Community Action Programs, has told the board of directors that he will resign his position in the next 60 days to 90 days to join a King County agency.
Crump, who has led OlyCAP since December 2012, is credited with consolidating operations to bring it financial stability and sustainability, and foster “a healthy and positive corporate culture,” board president Rich Ciccarone said.
He will become chief operating officer of Hope Line, a community action program in King County, where he will be closer to family members, Ciccarone said.
The OlyCAP board has begun an extensive campaign to find Crump’s replacement, Ciccarone said.
OlyCAP’s mission statement, according to its website: “OlyCAP partners to lead and engage the community to promote self-reliance on behalf of those we serve while embracing innovation and collaboration with the determination and commitment to build a healthier community.”
It administers the Peninsula Daily News’ Peninsula Home Fund, which last year raised a record $271,981.
OlyCAP’s main office is in Port Townsend, with offices in Port Angeles and Forks.
