A new CEO should be named by November, said Dan Bradbury, managing partner of Bradbury Associates Inc. in Indianapolis, which is conducting the search.
The public will have the opportunity to question the two finalists at a forum set for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Central Library, 40 E. St. Clair St.
