MROSD hires new general manager

The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) has selected Stephen E. Abbors as the District’s new general manager. Mr. Abbors will replace Craig Britton, who is retiring on April 11 after 14 years as general manager and 30 years of service to the district.

Abbors began his professional career as a naturalist with the East Bay Regional Park District, and in 1984 accepted a position with the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). Since then, he has served in various capacities at EBMUD, most recently as Manager of Watershed and Recreation. Abbors will be responsible for day-to-day operations of the District’s nearly 56,000 acres of open space.

The district received 37 applications, reviewed a short list of 13 candidates, and interviewed five.
