Beau, the agency's director, told the Marshall County Community Corrections Board that after a hiring process he selected Anthony Merrill as assistant director and that Lindsay Holloway has been hired as a case manager.

Beau said of Jill's retirement that she had been a well-qualified assistant director and that the transition to new leadership had been smooth: "she showed why she was in the position of assistant director and why she had put in that position and the outstanding work she's done," Beau said. The chair asked to prepare a letter of appreciation to recognize Jill's service; the board agreed that the chair and the director would sign and circulate it for additional signatures.

Anthony Merrill introduced himself to the board, described his prior supervisory duties and said in his new role he will oversee grant accounting and quality assurance functions. The board noted Lindsay Holloway will start "next Tuesday" rather than Monday because of Martin Luther King Day.

No formal board action was recorded for the hires; they were presented as staffing updates.
