Maybe this is old news but I heard today that Matt Coggins is leaving the city and going to work for Enterprise Bank.
Diana Prudohomme-? is also supposed to be out at UMass Lowell.

Just read it in this morning’s Sun. Too bad for Lowell. Heard a lot of good things about Mr. Coggins. I’m sure he’ll find success in his new position.

Good for Mr. Coggins. I am sure he will do well in the private sector. As any good manager, he is leaving behind a well trained staff and capable assistants who can be promoted.

Congratulations to Acting Police Chief Lavallee on his selection as the next permanent Chief. It is well deserved.
September 29th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
Since the Superintendent’s job was brought up I too want to say congrats! From what I understand Superintendent Lavallee will do a great job.
My only reservation is that he’s already a lame duck!
He has publically announced he’s retiring in 5 years so with that backdrop maybe the CM should have left him as the Deputy and found someone willing to stay longer.

Well, 5 years is a long time for that position, and with Lavallee it seems to be a natural follow-on to his prior experience. I think he will do well, and in 5 years another may have surfaced through the ranks.

Waittil, hopefully you’re right, but I know when I hire someone to fill a job, and the candidate tell me that they have other plans down the road I tend to look elsewhere for a candidate that wants to be with me long term no matter how good that applicant appears to be for the short term.
