Former County Administrator to Head Local Non-profit







Former County Administrator Mark Esterbook has been selected to be the Executive Director of the Community Action Program (CAP) of Lancaster County, it was revealed at Tuesday night's City Council meeting.

Esterbrook resigned from his position as County Administrator under mysterious circumstances in April.

The announcement was made by CAP's Interim Executive Director, Dr. Sharron Nelson, who is a former County Commissioner and a current member of the Lancaster County Convention Center Authority Board.

The Community Action Program (CAP) of Lancaster County is a non-profit organization whose mission is to address the causes of poverty throughout the County. It offers a variety of social services to low-income individuals and families.

Esterbrook said he is "very excited very humbled, and very honored to be selected for this position."

He explained that he had been presented with a number of opportunities in both the public and private sectors, and said that CAP's values "align very much with my own."

Esterbrook was chosen from 58 applications for the position and will assume his duties on July 7.

Also at Tuesday night's City Council meeting, four gentlemen were presented with commendation awards by Lancaster Police Chief Keith Sadler for helping catch and apprehend an alleged vehicle thief in May.

They are: Neil Roth of Ephrata, Carl Frymoyer of Lititz, Wayne Kisela of Lancaster, and Travis Greenwalt of Landisville.
