HOLLISTER
The new executive director for the Economic Development Corp. of San Benito County has been on the job since Oct. 1, and her predecessor, who’s helping ease her transition until the end of the month, today called Nancy Martin “a very, very capable professional.”
Martin started Oct. 1, last week Wednesday. She succeeds longtime Executive Director Al Martinez, who’s retiring.
Martinez said that so far he has introduced Martin, who came from Southern California, to a multitude of people and groups with whom he has interacted. He has given Martin her “first lead” in the meantime on a potential recruitment effort and even introduced her to his “coffee shop gang” – which he described as business folks and retirees, or “local boys who meet at the coffee shop.”
Martinez noted how Martin, who most recently ran a private consulting business in Rancho Capistrano, has a “good background and a lot of experience.”
“She’s a very, very capable professional person, and I don’t have any doubts she’ll succeed,” said Martinez.
