San Joaquin County clinics report conditional offer accepted for project director; public vote expected at clinics board meeting

Genevieve Valentine, healthcare services director, updated the clinics board on Oct. 27 that a selection committee reviewed applications for the clinics' project director, interviewed three finalists and unanimously recommended one candidate. The board gave health services authority to extend a conditional job offer, which the candidate accepted and is now in background checks.

Valentine said the conditional appointment will be made a public, board-appointed item at the clinics' Oct. 27 meeting, at which point the clinics board will vote to formalize the appointment. She added the clinics hope the Board of Supervisors will confirm the salary in open session on the 10th. "We do have a strong candidate," Valentine said, and staff indicated they would announce the candidate's name after the clinics board's public vote.

A board member thanked a supervisor who participated on the selection panel; Valentine thanked the supervisor as well. No public comments were made at the meeting and the board did not take a final appointment vote during this session.
