The Board has retained Korn Ferry (Consultant), a global executive recruitment firm, to manage the search process and conduct a national search to include both internal and external candidates. The Consultant was selected for this engagement based on the firm's direct experience in leading Chief Executive and General Management searches for clients in the private and public water, infrastructure and utility sectors.
The Board of Directors has been working with the Consultant to develop a position specification (Attachment 1). To view the position specification online, click here or visit www.ekornferry.com and search for Opportunity Code LE215.
