Coos County Human Resource Director Mike Lehman is one of the three top candidates of eighty applicants to fill the Oregon Coast Community Action CEO position vacated by Mary Schoen-Clark. Also under consideration is acting interim CEO, Patty Gouveia and another candidate out of the area.

Interviews were held today after a meet and greet with staff yesterday. A brief sampling of courthouse insiders suggests several are crossing their fingers hoping Lehman gets the job while ORCCA staff are less enthusiastic and are instead pulling for Gouveia.
