Great Lakes Water Authority Approves Short List of Candidates for CEO (UPDATED)

On October 7, 2015, shortly after the Detroit Board of Water Commissioners approved a new Director and Deputy Director, the Board of Directors of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) held a public meeting and approved a short list of 4 candidates to fill the top position with the new Authority. 

The four finalists for the CEO position are:

• Kofi Boateng
• Tom Heikkinen
• Sue McCormick
• Randy Moore

The GLWA Board will interview the 4 candidates in an open session on Monday, October 12, 2015 at 3:00 p.m.  (Update: According the GLWA's Calendar - http://glwater.org/event/glwa-special-meeting-ceo-selection/ - the CEO interviews are scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th at 4:00 p.m.)  The GLWA Board meets in the 5th Floor Board Room in the Water Board Building at 735 Randolph. 

The GLWA Board is also expected to deliberate in open session and select a CEO candidate with whom it will engage in contract negotiations.

Comment: Other than Sue McCormick, who is currently serving as Interim-CEO, and served as Director of DWSD for the past 4 years, I don't know any of the other candidates. I have linked each candidate to their LinkedIn profile. If any of you have insights about the other three candidates, now is the time to speak up!
