West Fargo launches search for new HR director after sudden resignation

The city of West Fargo is searching for a new human resources director after Sarah Gasevic resigned earlier this month. Gasevic had led the department since August 2023, bringing years of experience from roles at the University of Mary and Village Service Centers. Gasevic was originally hired to stabilize the HR department following a wave of departures, including Jenna Wilm’s resignation in April 2023. During her time, she updated the city’s personnel policies and handbook throughout 2025. She also conducted a staff salary study in 2024, which found most wages aligned with regional benchmarks. The search for Gasevic’s replacement is underway, with a structured timeline in place. A new director is expected to take over by early 2026, ensuring continuity in the city’s HR operations. No details about individual applicants have been made public.
