The ATRS Board met yesterday, April 3, 2023, and took the necessary first steps towards finding a new executive director for ATRS. As part of those first steps, the ATRS Board appointed current Deputy Director, Rod Graves, as the system’s Interim Executive Director. The appointment will be effective from the day following the current Executive Director, Clint Rhoden’s, last day of employment until the day before the new executive director’s first day of employment.
Other actions taken by the ATRS Board during yesterday’s meeting include the adoption and approval of the executive director selection process timeline, the executive director vacancy announcement, the intent to fill request, and the posting locations and posting dates for the vacancy announcement.
Once approved by the Office of Personnel Management, the vacancy announcement will be posted on the Arkansas Careers website (http://arcareers.arkansas.gov) and ATRS website. The vacancy announcement will also be published in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.
Please continue to look for future updates on the executive director selection process.
Kind regards,
ATRS Staff
