Helen Wilson, who has worked as Aliso Viejo’s community services director since its July 2001 incorporation, will retire from the post in October.
The recruitment for her replacement is currently underway.
After almost a decade in the post, Wilson is credited with complementing the City Council’s vision for a vibrant community that offers an array of beneficial recreation, community service and social services programs along with special events that cater to people of all ages.
Wilson has overseen and expanded operations at the Aliso Viejo Family Resource Center, assisted with the implementation of programs at the Aliso Viejo Boys & Girls Club branch and worked with numerous non-profit organizations on grant funding and community volunteer projects.
