Gerardo Mouet steps down after 8 years of service on board

Effective Aug. 31, OC Fair & Event Center Director Gerardo Mouet will leave his seat at the board of directors’ table.

After serving two full appointments totaling eight years on the board, Mouet says it is time to give another member of the community an opportunity to serve.

“It has been an honor to serve on the Board with you and my fellow Board Members and (I’ve been) most proud to support our efforts to protect the fairgrounds to continue being a benefit for the public,” Mouet wrote in a letter to Board Chair Robert Ruiz.

“I am also very proud to have been a part of the Board in our efforts to cheer on our wonderful staff to be professional, accountable, and to keep being guided by our mission, to celebrate interests, agriculture and heritage for all our communities in Orange County,” Mouet wrote.
