Beaufort County CFO Jim Chrisman explains Beaufort County's financial position at a board retreat in 2012: Above.
    Beaufort County CFO and assistant county manager, Jim Chrisman, is leaving his job to take the CFO position at Tideland Electric Membership Corporation (Tideland EMC). Tideland EMC is where former county manager, Paul Spruill, went to work when he left the county, and is currently still their CEO.

    I have known this information for about 4 days now, but have withheld publishing it until Jim had finally made up his mind. Regretfully, today I publish his letter of resignation effective August 29th.

    Jim was always competent in his duties, innovative in his material assessments, and functioned at a level that credited Beaufort County's government, which well benefitted the public that he served. To simply state that Jim will be missed is a massive understatement, but one I can offer that will be universally understood.
