National CEO Search in Motion 

SHARE:

Over 160 applications were received by the NASBA Selection Advisory Committee (“SAC”) in response to the Committee’s national search for NASBA’s next president and chief executive officer. The SAC was formed, and a national search was launched, following Ken Bishop’s announcement of plans to retire from his role in July 2024.  

The 11-member Committee, chaired by A. Carlos Barrera (TX), narrowed down the robust candidate pool to approximately 20 individuals with strong executive experience and nexus to NASBA. The Committee invited the top 15 candidates to the first round of virtual interviews from Nashville, TN, at the end of January 2024. Following the first round of interviews, the top six individuals were invited to travel to Dallas, TX, to meet in-person with the Committee in mid-February.  

At the conclusion of the round-two interviews, the Committee will deliberate and extend invitations to  the top three candidates to travel to Nashville, TN, for a final interview in March. After which, the SAC will recommend the most qualified candidate to the NASBA Board of Directors as Bishop’s successor. The Committee’s search is focused on finding the right person who deeply understands the profession, its regulation, and the role NASBA plays in supporting State Boards of Accountancy.
