Wally Morgus has been appointed executive director of the Mountain Rides Transportation Authority.
Morgus is scheduled to begin work April 23.
Morgus served as executive director of the Blaine County Recreation District from 2002 to 2007. Since leaving BCRD, he has worked in the real estate and consulting industries, most recently with his own firm, Touchstone 2KX, which specializes in public sector consulting.
He holds a Bachelors degree from Dartmouth and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago.
Morgus said he was attracted to the Mountain Rides position by “a fervor and respect for public amenities done well, along with a passion for undertakings that make our community a better place for those who enjoy it now and for generations to come.”
Morgus replaces Jason Miller, who left in January to take a position in another city. Morgus was chosen following a nationwide search for his replacement.
Board Chair Kristin Derrig said the board was attracted to Morgus because of his knowledge of Blaine county, his experience as a management consultant and his vision for Mountain Rides.
“He will bring great vision and leadership to our already successful organization,” said Derrig.
