In a Jan. 12 letter shared with Becker’s, Mr. Gibson said he will resign when his replacement is selected by the board and sworn in, but no later than April 2.
Mr. Gibson has served on the St. John’s board for 11 years and as chair of its Finance, Facilities, IT and Audit Committee for 10 years. He was first elected to the board in 2012, and his current term ends in November 2024.
The board member said his decision to resign, although before his term ends, is consistent with his previous public statements that he would not seek another term.
“Even though I’m still vibrant, I’ve always been a believer in passing on the responsibility to younger people,” Mr. Gibson said, according to the Jackson Hole News&Guide. “I finally confirmed in my own mind that it’s the right time.”
After his resignation, Mr. Gibson said he plans to remain involved with the hospital in some capacity.
