CHARLOTTE AMALIE — CEO Andrew Smith has resigned from WAPA after weeks of rotating power outages on all three major islands.
Kyle Fleming, chairman of the WAPA governing board, said today Smith submitted his letter of resignation to the WAPA Board of Directors. The WAPA CEO and executive director’s last day will be June 30th.
Fleming said that Smith was recruited “to develop a strategic plan to improve the authority’s financial and operational performance.”
“The governing board recognizes and thanks CEO Smith for the changes and improvements he brought to the authority,” he said.
Fleming said the acquisition of the propane supply infrastructure was one of Smith’s many accomplishments.
