Board chair to be interim leader of Urban League
CHAMPAIGN – Sandra Jones, board chair for the Urban League of Champaign County, will serve as interim chief executive officer until a successor is found for Tracy Parsons, who resigned last week.
Board members met Monday afternoon and unanimously agreed to appoint Jones, who was to announce the news to staff members this morning. A national search for a new CEO will begin shortly, coordinated with the national Urban League office. It will be led by a search committee made up of board members, with input from staff and the community. With the holidays approaching, that process is expected to take several months.
