Commission reports offer made for executive director after closed session
Summary
After an executive‑session personnel review, the commission reported it voted to offer the executive director position to a candidate; the candidate's identity remains confidential pending acceptance and background/reference checks.
The Commission for Behavioral Health convened a closed session on April 10 to consider a personnel matter under Government Code section 11126(a). After the closed session, Chair Myra Alvarez reported to the public that the commission voted to offer the executive director role to a candidate.
The commission said it will keep the candidate’s identity confidential while the candidate completes background checks and reference verifications. The chair thanked the executive director screening committee, chaired by Commissioner Robinson, and the nine commissioners who took part in the screening process for the time they invested.
Why it matters: Selecting an executive director is a key organizational milestone. The commission indicated it will report back publicly after the candidate accepts and background/reference checks conclude.
Ending: Staff and commissioners expressed appreciation for the screening committee’s work and said a public update will follow when legally appropriate.
