New job for the Chief


The Board of Directors of the Public Policy Institute of California today announced the selection of Tani Cantil-Sakauye as PPIC’s next president and chief executive officer. Sakauye, currently the Chief Justice of California, will assume her new role on January 1, 2023.

“It goes without saying that I and the members of the PPIC Board of Directors are absolutely thrilled that the Chief Justice will lend her extraordinary talents, expertise, and stature to advance our unique purpose and mission,” said Steve Merksamer, PPIC’s immediate past Board Chair who also chaired the CEO search committee. “PPIC’s role as a nonpartisan, independent, fact-based resource for policymakers and influencers in the state is more important than it has ever been and having a thoughtful, seasoned and experienced leader at the helm is critical. Tani Cantil-Sakauye is such a leader.”
