“We conducted an international search for our next general manager and received many qualified applicants. In the end, Emily brought the exact blend of talent, passion, and skills the organization needs now and into the future," said Board Chair Clark Gilman. "We are extremely confident in our selection and excited for Emily to lead us through the execution of our strategic plan. We have considerable work ahead as we adjust to a post-pandemic world while fulfilling the commitments made in 2018’s Proposition 1."

I am excited to take on this responsibility and look forward to the opportunities and challenges we will face together.”
