Please join us in celebrating the announcement of promotion of our own Heather Slavey to add the position of Chief Operating Officer, effective today, Monday January 26, 2026.

We are proud to announce Heather Slavey as our incoming Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Heather is a seasoned business and operations professional from Casey County, Kentucky, currently residing in Pulaski County. She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Eastern Kentucky University and brings more than 25 years of experience in business operations and strategic decision-making.

A Strong Leader with Deep Operational Experience

Throughout her career, Heather has built extensive expertise across:

• Operations

• Human Resources

• Finance

• Strategic planning and organizational efficiency

This diverse background uniquely positions her to ensure our day-to-day operations run smoothly while working closely with our CEO to strengthen systems, improve efficiency, and support long-term organizational success.

For the past 20 months, Heather has served as our Chief Human Resources Officer, playing a vital role within our C-Suite. As she steps into the COO role, she will continue fulfilling her responsibilities as CHRO—bringing continuity, insight, and strong leadership to both positions.

A Leader Who Values People—At Work and at Home

Outside of her professional career, Heather is a family-first person who truly embraces life. She treasures time with her daughter and grandchildren and enjoys making the most of her time outside the office—whether that’s boating on the lake, vacationing at the beach, or spending time in the mountains.

Looking Ahead

We are excited to see the impact Heather will continue to make in this expanded leadership role and are confident her experience, dedication, and vision will help guide our organization forward.

Please join us in congratulating Heather on this well-deserved transition.
