Jeb Bush Resigns All Board Memberships
January 1st, 2015Via: International Business Times:
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s office announced Wednesday that he has resigned from all of his corporate and nonprofit board memberships, effective Dec. 31, ahead of what seems like an increasingly likely presidential bid in 2016.
The disclosure, which came in an email from a Bush aide to the Washington Post, also revealed that Bush is reviewing his involvement in other businesses in which he is a principal or part owner, including consulting firm Jeb Bush & Associates, and Britton Hill Partnership, a business advisory group.
Spokesperson Kristy Campbell told The Associated Press that Bush’s review of his business interests is “a natural next step as he turns his focus to gauging whether there is support for a potential candidacy.”
The move comes after Bush announced earlier this month that he was “actively exploring” a bid for the presidency, and that he would be forming a leadership PAC in January 2015. Bush had announced that he was stepping down from roles with other organizations, including Barclays Plc. and Tenet Healthcare earlier this week.
