The Institute of Financial Operations Appoints Ken Brown Interim Executive Director
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) January 27, 2014 -- The Institute of Financial Operations has appointed its vice president of operations, Ken Brown, as interim executive director effective immediately.
"Ken has been a strong, guiding force, working behind the scenes to ensure the smooth and seamless execution of The Institute's exceptional programs and events," said Michael Mallon, chairman of the IFO’s board of directors. "He is intimately familiar with the day-to-day workings of the organization and is well-known and respected by our partners and members. We couldn't ask for a better hand at the wheel at this time."
The previous director, Jo E. LaBorde, has left the organization. The Institute will be launching a search for a new executive director.
"In accounts receivable and accounts payable, change has become the new normal," Mallon said. "The board believes that this change is in the best interests of our partners and members, who deserve our highest and best efforts. The Institute of Financial Operations is well-prepared to navigate this transition, and we are grateful to Ken for his willingness to serve in the interim as we look for a new executive."
