Local government leaders from across Southside Virginia gathered on July 23 to honor Charlotte County Administrator Dan Witt, who will retire on August 31, 2025, after a distinguished 34-year career in public service. Witt has served as Charlotte County Administrator since September 2018. His prior service includes roles with the Town of Altavista and the City of Lynchburg, bringing decades of experience and leadership to the region.
A retirement luncheon was held at The Old Fishin’ Pig in Prince Edward County, where nine current and former administrators representing Amelia, Buckingham, Charlotte, Lunenburg, Nottoway, and Prince Edward Counties and colleagues from the Commonwealth Regional Council and Virginia’s Heartland Regional Economic Development Alliance came together to celebrate Witt’s contributions. Collectively, the group represented well over a century of local government leadership.
As a token of appreciation, Witt’s peers presented him with a custom rocking chair engraved with the Charlotte County seal, his name, and years of service—a symbol of gratitude for his dedication to public service. Please join us in thanking Dan for his decades of commitment to public service and wishing him the very best in retirement!
