The executive director of the Danville-based Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR) on Monday announced his plans to retire July 31.
Jerry Gwaltney has led the institute since April 2013. For a few months before that, he served as the organization’s interim executive director.
When the institute was founded in 2000, Gwaltney was Danville’s city manager. In that position, he worked to help the city recover from the loss of thousands of jobs when Dan River Mills closed its operations.
