Turley will stay on with the CDRA on a part-time basis to complete specific projects and advise Caldwell going forward.
“I look forward to working with Becky to ensure a smooth transition in order to keep the CDRA the leader of the C&D industry,” said Turley. “Her background will allow that to happen.”
