John Teflan, New Warren County Administrator Formerly of the NSA

The Warren County Board of Supervisors hired John Taflan as new Warren County Administrator at a salary of $120,000. He is taking the place of Ryan Moore, who will be taking over as CEO at Behan Communications. Ryan Moore had filled the position of Warren County Administrator since 2018; Taflan plans to start the administrator post on December 1st. The Warren County Board of Supervisors was happy to find a candidate with the experience and accomplishments of Taflan: he has both management skills, and a stake in the community. They feel this combination is important to help the board overcome challenges that are bound to arise.

Teflan is coming to the position after having completed his career in Washington D.C. He served as a Director of Human Resources, and as an Intelligence Officer overseas; Teflan is a retired U.S. Army officer who received his commission from West Point. His family has owned a property in the hamlet of Cleverdale on Lake George since 1937, but the Teflan family replaced the original seasonal campground with a newly built, year-round home in 2019.

John and his wife Heidi both have military backgrounds: Heidi is a retired naval officer. The two met at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and now have two grown daughters who live in Maryland. 

Teflan is looking forward to working with the Board of Supervisors and the county departments, and acknowledged the competitive group of applicants from which he was chosen. He is looking forward to having a positive impact in the community that’s been his home away from home for the past 25 years.
