The California City Management Foundation (CCMF) recently announced the appointment of Ken Pulskamp as their next Executive Director.

“It was a great honor to be asked to take on the role of Executive Director for CCMF,” said Pulskamp. “The values held by CCMF, namely leadership, transparency, and creativity, are qualities I hold dear, both professionally and personally.”

Pulskamp served as the interim city manager of Burbank, and had previously served as the city manager in Santa Clarita. He was awarded the Distinguished California City Manager Award by CCMF in 2010. Pulskamp was voted in as Executive Director after the current director, Rita Geldert, announced her intention to step down from the position.

“I know Ken will bring his thoughtful voice and patient personality to the position, and keep CCMF growing along with the profession, “ said Geldert.” His dedication to public service makes him an excellent choice to keep CCMF moving forward.”

Pulskamp officially started his tenure on February 1.
