The Pullman Regional Hospital has extended its application period for the vacant commissioner seat on its board.
The hospital is still looking to fill the seat that was recently vacated by longtime Commissioner Michael Murphy, who served on the board since 2000. Murphy left the position May 4.
Applications are due July 10 for the six-year term on the seven-person board. To be eligible, applicants must be a registered voter, live within Pullman city limits and cannot be a hospital employee, according to a news release. Candidates must send in a letter of interest and a resume or curriculum vitae to Jeff Elbracht, president of the board.
The board will hold a special meeting July 19 to interview candidates and potentially appoint a commissioner, according to the release. The appointee must submit a personal financial affairs statement with the Public Disclosure Commission. The person would be required to participate in the November 2023 general election and must file by August.
