According to

David Rodock in the VDT today:

…a unanimous decision by board members to submit a formal offer to
Andrea Schruijer for the position of executive director.

Absent from the meeting was board member Roy Copeland.

According to Steve Gupton, authority attorney, the three-year contract
will include a salary of $100,000 per year. As with all its employees,
the authority will pay seven percent into a retirement fund and 75
percent of health care insurance.

Schruijer, pending acceptance of the offer, will officially start
employment on July 8.

She’s a former hotel marketing person,

according to her LinkedIn account:

They’re paying her less than Brad Lofton.
We’ll see if she’s any better.

More from that story:

“There were actually 11 people involved with the interview process,
with representatives from both the city and the county governments,”
said Jerry Jennett, authority chairman. “Out of five candidates, two
were not from Georgia, which was probably somewhat of a handicap. It
works out that the way development is done in Georgia is different than
in other states; it’s just different.”

Different as in important decisions get made in numerous special called
meetings so there will be no public or video cameras?
