Richard Kirke retired on January 22, 2010 after a lengthy career of almost 23 years with Strathcona County. Richard started with the County in 1987 as the Assistant Manager, Business Systems Development. In 1988, he was promoted to the Development Coordinator, Business Applications and then he was promoted in 2002 to the position of Information Technology Manager.
During the last 7 years, Richard has been a great supporter of MISA and in particular MISA Prairies. He supported the inaugural meeting of MISA Prairies and hosted the first organized MISA Prairies meeting in 2005. Over the years Richard has attended and supported all of the MISA Prairies conferences.
In his retirement, Richard plans to travel with his wife Franz and he plans to do more golfing and playing tennis. He also indicated that he likes to read, putter around, and work in his garage. I am sure he will find lots of things to do and we wish him all the best.
To celebrate his retirement, Art Krutz, City of St. Albert and Dan Newton , City of Red Deer and MISA Praires Treasurer, took Richard out for dinner and presented him with a plaque from MISA Prairies.
