After a year and a half on the job, Todd Christensen is done as president and chief executive officer of the Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce. Christensen, who replaced longtime CEO Jonathan Coe in January 2010, declined to discuss details of his departure when contacted Thursday morning. However, he told The Press that he and his family love Coeur d’Alene and the North Idaho region and intend “to pursue other opportunities here.” Skip Peterson, chairman of the chamber board, also declined to discuss any details of Christensen’s departure/Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Wonder why everyone clams up when a high-profile individual in the community like Christensen abruptly is out of a job?
