Missoula County approves employment agreement for incoming chief financial officer Jessica Yang
Summary
The county approved an employment contract for Jessica Yang, who will begin as chief financial officer on Feb. 17; the board described a recruitment process using an outside firm and emphasized overlap to support a smooth transition.
Missoula County commissioners approved an employment agreement for Jessica Yang to become the county’s chief financial officer, with a start date of Feb. 17.
County staff described the recruitment process: an outside firm (Proffman) conducted recruitment, candidates were screened by elected officials and staff, and finalists met with county leadership before the commissioners made the selection. Staff said Yang’s CPA background and experience running organizational accounting distinguished her among "great applicants." Commissioners emphasized a planned overlap with the outgoing finance official to ensure a smooth transition.
An unidentified commissioner moved to approve the employment agreement during the meeting and the board approved it by voice vote; the meeting record shows the vote as a voice vote and does not list a roll-call tally.
