Lara Fritts
Lara Fritts has resigned as president and CEO of the Greater Richmond Partnership, according to an email sent to the public-private economic development organization’s investors this week. Her resignation is effective as of Nov. 30, and she will be serving actively in the role until that time, according to a spokesperson.
Fritts joined the organization in August 2019. COO Jennifer Wakefield will serve as interim president and CEO as the partnership’s board launches a search for Fritts’ permanent replacement.
Although the email, which was sent by GRP Chair Leslie Haley on Oct. 19, does not disclose Fritts’ future plans, it says that she has “decided to leave GRP to pursue new professional opportunities which better align with her interests.”
