Among the most significant information presented during NASBA’s recent annual meeting was the announcement of Ken Bishop’s retirement as president and CEO, effective July 31, 2024. Bishop shared his plans to retire from his executive role with Board of Accountancy members and other key stakeholders as part of his State of NASBA address.

In preparation for the transition of leadership, the NASBA Board of Directors, at its October 31 meeting, approved a formal process and Selection Advisory Committee (SAC) to determine his successor. Under the leadership of SAC Chair A. Carlos Barrera (TX), representatives of the 11-member committee also include J. Coalter Baker (TX), Thuy Barron (WI), Bernita Demery (NC), Delbert Madison (AL), Joseph Maffia (NY), Paula Mann (CO), Kevin Monroe (TN), Godson Sowah (MN), Laurie Tish (WA) and Viki Windfeldt (NV).

As part of the selection process, cover letters and resumes will be accepted through January 5, 2024, with consideration given to current NASBA staff and other qualified candidates. Upon receiving finalist recommendations from the SAC and Executive Committee, an announcement of Bishop’s successor will be named following approval by the NASBA Board of Directors.

“NASBA has had great success in fulfilling its mission over the past 12 years with Ken Bishop leading the organization as president and CEO. His successor must also be a dynamic, forward thinking, visionary leader, who will build upon that legacy and lead NASBA into the future by maintaining the organization’s relevance among State Boards of Accountancy, while preserving their regulatory role of protecting the public,” shared Barrera.

Interested parties are encouraged to submit their credentials to [email protected] prior to the January 5 deadline. Faxed resumes and calls concerning the position will not be accepted.
