Kevin O’Donoghue has resigned from the Concord Township Board of Supervisors. He made the announcement at the end of the July 7 supervisors’ meeting.
His resignation was effective immediately. The board now has 30 days to appoint a replacement.
O’Donoghue, who’s been on the board since January 2004, cited work commitments. He said an opportunity with his job as an IT recruiter for A2C has him working out of the company’s Boston office Monday through Wednesday. Concord’s supervisors’ meetings are on Tuesdays.
“You can’t serve if you’re not here,” he said.
He said his time on the board has been “wonderful and rewarding,” and he will continue to serve the community as best he can. He'll stay involved with the Brandywine Youth Club, Garnet Valley School District issues and in local politics, he said, but he could not pass up the professional opportunity.
Supervisors’ Chairman Dominic Pileggi called O’Donoghue “the heart of the board.” In accepting the resignation, Pileggi said it was “bittersweet.”
