Bill Thomas has been selected by the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County Board to be RTC’s executive director, following a special meeting where the board interviewed five candidates.
“Bill Thomas successfully received unanimous support from the entire board,” said RTC Chairman Bob Lucey. “We had a strong candidate pool of well-qualified candidates, all of whom would have been a great leader for the RTC.”
The RTC Board received communications from the community, council members, local government and RTC staff about the attributes and experience the next executive director should possess. The RTC Board provided ample time to receive input and the comments received were taken into consideration for the selection of a new executive director.
RTC says the candidate-selection process was open and transparent, and the public meeting was a continuation of this process. The RTC Board says it listened to the community and to all the candidates, which helped the board select the best individual for the community and the leadership of the RTC.
The RTC Board gave legal counsel direction to begin negotiation of an employment agreement that will be brought to the RTC Board meeting on March 20, 2020.
“The RTC Board extends its appreciation to Amy Cummings who is serving as the RTC interim executive director during the transition,” said Lucey.
