CEO Search Update

*****

Work continues in earnest on PBRCC’s search for our next President and CEO. The Executive Search Committee, co-chaired by Jake Miller and Diane Lebson, is pleased with the quantity, quality, and diversity of applicants who have expressed interest in the role.

The committee has just concluded its first round of interviews and will be working aggressively through the rest of this month and into early January to identify finalist candidate(s), with an aim to present its recommendations at the PBRCC meeting in mid-January.

Please direct any questions to Jake at jake.miller@thefirst.com
