The Sarasota County Public Hospital Board has appointed Sarasota business and civic leader Brittany “Britt” Riner to fill a vacant position on the unpaid, nine-member Hospital Board. The Hospital Board unanimously selected Riner from a pool of 12 local candidates to fill the at-large Seat 3. The open seat on the governing board was vacated in April by Susan Tucker, who stepped down to complete medical school. As an appointee to the Hospital Board, Riner will serve until the general election in November 2020. Her term is slated to begin in July, pending approval by the governor’s office.

As president of Liber Consulting, Riner provides strategic planning, marketing and organization design consulting services for non-profit and for-profit entities. Her previous work experiences include process improvement consulting for K12, Inc., the nation's largest provider of online public school; consulting for the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force while working at Booz Allen Hamilton; and healthcare best practices research for the Advisory Board Company. A native of Sarasota, Riner has a long-term personal connection to the community and its public hospital.
