Central Health applications sought
Thursday, October 23, 2014 by Mark Richardson
Travis County Commissioners will have to follow a tight timeline in order to fill two positions opening up Dec. 31 on the Central Health board of managers. Commissioners posted a call for applications Wednesday outlining the criteria for the board positions and set a Nov. 21 deadline for submissions. At that point, Commissioners will choose finalists from among the pool of qualified applicants and bring them in for an interview. Commissioners say they hope to announce the appointments before Christmas, or no later than New Year’s Day. The new appointees will replace board chair Brenda Coleman-Beattie, whose term is not being renewed, and treasurer Rebecca Lightsey, who is resigning from the board at the end of the year.
