Ernest Chrappah’s announcement means that D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) will need to find and nominate a new director to lead the nascent agency.
“While my departure date is not set, as I want to ensure a smooth transition, I want you to hear this from me directly,” Chrappah wrote, while listing some of the agency’s recent accomplishments. “To stand up the DOB this past year, in particular, has required a great investment of time, energy and dedication from each of you, and I thank you very much for being on this journey with me.
Chrappah’s letter did not specify why he was leaving the agency — or what he might do next. Before joining DCRA, he held leadership positions at D.C. agencies including the Department of For-Hire Vehicles and the Child and Family Services Agency. “While our paths may soon diverge, our futures are bright,” Chrappah wrote to his staff. “For now, I will continue to advance our work, challenge the status quo, and support each of you as you serve the District.”
