BEMIDJI, Minn. - The executive director of the Sanford Center has been fired from his job, marking the second time such a move has been made since the entertainment and event facility opened in 2010.
Roger Swanson, who took over the post officially at the start of the year, lasted just more than seven months in the job. VenuWorks, which manages and operates the facility, made the move Wednesday.
In a news release, VenuWorks President Steven L. Peters said, "VenuWorks prides itself as an upstanding and professional company and does not tolerate any conduct that does not represent VenuWorks or its employees at the Sanford Center in the best possible way."
VenuWorks said it would not comment further on Swanson's dismissal, citing employee privacy.
