FirstNet Authority provides update on CEO search

Without a permanent CEO for three months, the FirstNet Authority has hired a recruitment firm that will conduct the search for a new CEO to succeed Ed Parkinson, according to a statement made yesterday during the FirstNet Authority Board meeting

FirstNet Authority Acting CEO Lisa Casias made the announcement, which was the first public update about the CEO search since Parkinson left the FirstNet Authority in May to take a position with RapidSOS.

“We are currently working with a recruitment firm to conduct a search for candidates for the FirstNet Authority CEO position,” Casias said. “An informational website on the position will soon be available to the public and will be available via www.firstnet.gov and other communications channels, followed by a posting on www.usajobs.gov."

“Please stay tuned for this information. We will share it far and wide once it is available.”
