Statement from the co-chairs of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority Chief Executive Officer Recruitment

Feb. 24, 2021

On February 4, 2021, the King County Regional Homelessness Authority’s Implementation Board passed a resolution recommending Regina Cannon to become the first Chief Executive Officer of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA). The KCRHA Governing Board voted to confirm Regina Cannon the same day. 

On February 23, 2021, Regina Cannon officially declined the King County Regional Homelessness Authority’s offer of employment. The Implementation Board will reconvene at a forthcoming meeting to determine what actions and next steps it will take to identify another candidate to recommend for the CEO position. Staff are contacting members of the Implementation Board to schedule a special meeting.  Notices related to that meeting will be available at https://kcrha.org/implementation-board/.
