Dear all, the Board has read your messages and is discussing the concerns you have raised about Arnnon Geshuri’s appointment. We need to consider all information and we have conversations among ourselves. Arnnon and the board are listening to your worries and talking with community members, considering people's opinions and his own next steps.
In the recent round of appointments, the Board identified that we needed support and expertise in two areas: financial oversight and planning, and human resources. Kelly and Arnnon were identified through the process, reviewed alongside other nominees, and selected as finalists based on their expertise and backgrounds. We all agreed they were excellent candidates and people, and supported their progress as finalists. We understand this conversation will continue, and we will continue to monitor it. However, we want to be clear that the Board approved Arnnon unanimously and still believes he is a valuable member of the team. Please see this as a brief update. We owe you a more detailed response, and we plan to come back to you with more information soon.
