Search for new Wyoming Business Council CEO begins
(MP3 quote by Bill Britz, Co-Chair of WBC Board, discussing the search process)
CHEYENNE- Ads for the position of the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Wyoming Business Council will start to run this week in statewide, regional and national publications.
Tucker Fagan, the current CEO, announced his retirement in January. He will continue as CEO until June 30, 2007.
The Wyoming Business Council’s Board of Directors formed a search committee to fill the position in January. The committee is made up of: Board Co-Chair Bill Britz, Ted Ladd, Richard McGinity, Gwinavere Johnston, Clarene Law and Karla Fiebelkorn. Tucker Fagan will also serve on the committee.
The committee will conduct a national search to find the best replacement for Fagan. The committee hopes to place a new CEO before June 30. However, if this is not possible, Bob Jensen, the chief operating officer of the Business Council, will act as interim CEO until the process is concluded.
Fagan may continue to support the transition as a consultant to maintain continuity with the Governor’s Office and the Wyoming Legislature.
“The committee will be focused on candidates who will best support the mission of the Business Council to facilitate economic growth of the state by providing leadership with staff and key partners including the Governor’s Office, Legislature, and businesses,” said Bill Britz, co-chair of the Wyoming Business Council’s Board of Directors.
