Justman made the an-nouncement in a press release and declined further comment.

"We are sorry to see her leave. She did a good job for the Agriculture and Industrial Society," said Gordon Tonn, board of directors president. "We wish her well in her new endeavors, and it’s unfortunate that she had to leave us. She did a good job for both the AIS and the county."

County Board Chairman Herb Tennies was surprised when notified by the Daily News that Justman had submitted her resignation. He declined to comment until he could read a copy of the resignation letter.
