To add to the Bay Park Conservancy’s hiring spree of late, establishing more permanent positions at the nonprofit, three new board members have been appointed.

The nonprofit, responsible for developing and operating the $200 million 53-acre park along Sarasota Bay in downtown Sarasota, announced board members Tony Gamelin, managing principal of Sarasota-based accounting firm CFO Integrity; Jeff Jackson, president and CEO of Venice-based PGT Innovations; and Jennifer Jorgensen, city of Sarasota governmental relations manager.

“The Bay Park Conservancy is at a critical juncture with the need to balance ongoing operations of existing park with the implementation of new park,” Founding CEO AG Lafley says in a release. “We are focused on ensuring financial sustainability. We are adding the leadership, experience and expertise we need on both the board and BPC management team.”
