Wescoe Leaves for the Movies

E-MAIL STORY

David Wescoe, the administrator and chief executive officer of San Diego City Employees' Retirement System, is leaving the city to take the same job with the Motion Picture Industry's pension program.

Wescoe has been with SDCERS for more than three years and shepherded the system through the fallout from the city's pension accounting scandal. He also is known as not being shy to express his views.

Wescoe's resignation letter and two press releases are available on the SDCERS website. His last day with SDCERS will be Nov. 30.

San Diego will miss Wescoe. He completely turned around a troubled pension system, exhibiting competence, integrity, and the courage to hold the media and some elected offiicials (and their political agendas) accountable. The turn around of the pension system is 'good news' so won't be covered much by the media which only thrives on 'bad news.' But it is encouraging to see a public entity (SDCERS) work hard and successfully address some significant problems. Wescoe deserves much credit for his strong leadership and a track record of success.
