Board thanks Blake Flanders and counsel John Urie as leadership changes announced
Summary
Chair Johnson publicly thanked outgoing president Blake Flanders for his service and praised interim general counsel John Urie for his work during the transition; remarks were made ahead of the board's appointment of a new president and CEO.
At the start of the retreat business meeting, Chair Johnson publicly thanked Blake Flanders for his service to the Kansas Board of Regents and wished him well as he moves to the next chapter. The chair also thanked General Counsel John Urie for serving as interim and described Urie's work as "amazing and fantastic."
Those acknowledgements preceded the board's single business item: the appointment of a new president and CEO. No formal action regarding Flanders' departure or Urie's interim role was recorded in the transcript; the remarks were expressions of gratitude rather than board votes or directives.
