Following a series of incidents related to expenditures, contract management, and mileage tax plans that had critics calling for his resignation, the San Diego Association of Governments’ CEO announced on Aug. 1 he is stepping down, effective Dec. 29.
“I came to SANDAG almost five years ago to reinvigorate this organization and reimagine a brighter future for the San Diego region,” Hasan Ikhrata said in a press release. “Together, with the amazing SANDAG team, we have done just that. As the agency starts its next chapter, this is the right time to hand over the leadership reins.”
