Following the resignation of CEO Lona Hankins, the Board appointed Ronald Baptiste as Interim CEO and ratified use of a national recruitment firm, KL2 Connects LLC, to conduct a CEO search. The Board emphasized that this is a transition period with opportunities to reflect, improve, and position the agency for long-term success. Executive transitions often precede strategic shifts in technology, capital planning, and service delivery, so vendors should track the CEO search and be ready to align offerings with the new leader’s priorities.
Board Chair framed leadership change as an opportunity to strengthen governance, support continuity, and advance infrastructure and operational priorities.
