Gender Diversity Comes To Sinclair Board of Directors

0

Upon the unanimous recommendation of the independent members of Sinclair Broadcast Group‘s Board of Directors, the size of the board will grow from nine to 11 members.


Taking one of those new seats: the EVP/CFO of Greater Baltimore Medical Center.

That’s Laurie R. Beyer, who will stand for re-election to the Board of Directors at Sinclair’s next annual meeting of shareholders.

From January 2006 to October 2017, Beyer served as SVP/CFO of what was then-known as Union Hospital of Cecil County (currently ChristianaCare, Union Hospital).

Before a 35-year career in hospital administration, she served as an auditor with Arthur Andersen LLP.

Her appointment resolves a gender gap on the Sinclair board.

Sinclair Board Chairman David Smith said, “We are excited to bring Beyer, Sinclair’s first female Director, to our Board. Laurie is a well-respected member of the Maryland business community, and her addition will strengthen our Board’s governance and diversity of experience, perspectives, skills, and individual qualities.”

The Board of Directors expects to fill the additional vacancy when a suitable candidate is identified.
