Assistant County Executive Susan Roltsch has been named acting county executive by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. She will serve as the county government’s chief administrative officer until the board of county supervisors makes a permanent appointment.
Ms. Roltsch has 22 years of county government experience, and served as an assistant county executive for the past seven years. In that position her primary focus was community development-related functions, including public works, transportation, planning, development services and housing. Prior to becoming an assistant county executive, Ms. Roltsch served as development manager with the department of economic development, and a planner in the county’s planning department.
“Susan Roltsch has served Prince William County exceptionally well since 1986. Her many years of public management experience are an asset to the community,” said Board Chairman Corey Stewart. “The board of county supervisors looks forward to working with Susan in her new assignment.”
Ms. Roltsch received her bachelor of arts degree in economics from the University of Virginia and a master of public administration from George Mason University.
In her new position, Ms. Roltsch will take on the duties of the county executive during the search process for a permanent replacement for County Executive Craig Gerhart, who is retiring from the county to take a position with Amtrak.
