New General Manager Truc Dever with former GM Ken Bayless.

After more than six years at the helm of the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District, General Manager Ken Bayless has permanently traded in his briefcase for a set of golf clubs.

Ken retired from the District at the end of December after a successful tenure leading one of the largest vector control districts in California. His leadership brought positive change to the District, positioning it as one of the most well-respected vector control agencies in the State.  Highlights of his administration include overseeing a District re-organization, implementation of a performance-based budget, and serving as a member of the Executive Board and as President of the Mosquito and Vector Control Association of California (MVCAC). The GLACVCD staff and Trustees wish Ken a very happy retirement.

Taking up the mantle is GLACVCD’s former Director of Community Affairs, Truc Dever. After a competitive selection process conducted by a committee of Trustees, Truc was selected as the District’s new General Manager.

Truc began her vector control career serving as GLACVCD’s Public Information Officer. She was quickly promoted to the Director position where she was involved in nearly every major administrative and operational project at the District.  Truc holds a master’s degree in public administration and has been an active member of the Public Relations Committee for both the MVCAC and the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA).

Truc looks forward to working with staff, Trustees, and community members in her new capacity as General Manager.
