“In 2023, the board of directors hired ppf's current deputy director who had been with ppf for 7 years to step in as interim executive director while they determined next steps for a new executive director. At this time, they formed an executive search committee who developed an updated job description for ppf's executive director. The search committee determined that the interim executive director would be the top candidate to continue to advance the work of ppf and the board of directors, including ex officio members, interviewed the interim executive director and ultimately hired them. Salary was based on the former executive director's salary and the search committee's review of other, similar nonprofit's salaries for executive directors.”
