(MP3 Quote by Tucker Fagan, CEO of the Wyoming Business Council)

CHEYENNE – Tucker Fagan, CEO of the Wyoming Business Council, today submitted his retirement to the agency’s Board of Directors.

The board will decide the effective date in the near future. The board, which hires the CEO position, will begin the search for a new CEO.

Fagan will join his sons in starting a Wyoming high tech company.

“Having your kids move back to Wyoming is a dream of many parents in Wyoming, and part of my dream included starting a business with my sons. Working for the State has shown me the great dedication and selfless work by my many colleagues to make Wyoming a better place to live and work. After 30 years in the Air Force and almost nine years with state government, I am looking forward to another challenge.”
