PeADD Names Hayla Swaw Chief Financial Officer

The Pennyrile Area Development District (PeADD) is pleased to announce the promotion of Hayla Swaw to Chief Financial Officer, effective July 1, marking the beginning of the agency's new fiscal year.
Swaw previously served as PeADD's Deputy Chief Financial Officer, working alongside Chief Financial Officer Alisha Sutton to oversee the agency's financial operations. After 11 years with PeADD, Swaw now assumes the agency's top financial leadership role as Sutton prepares to retire on July 31 following 25 years of dedicated service to the organization.

As Chief Financial Officer, Swaw will oversee the agency's financial operations by developing and implementing effective management systems and directing the accounting, budgeting, and bookkeeping functions that support the organization's programs and services across the Pennyrile region.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to serve PeADD in this capacity and appreciate the confidence that has been placed in me," said Swaw. "I look forward to continuing to work alongside each of the staff, our programs, and the communities we serve."
Swaw also expressed her appreciation to Sutton for her guidance throughout the leadership transition and for her mentorship over the past 11 years.

"Alisha has been an incredible mentor and leader," Swaw said. "I am thankful for her support throughout my career and during this transition, and I wish her nothing but the best as she begins her well-deserved retirement."

"Hayla has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, financial expertise, and a deep commitment to our agency throughout her career at PeADD," said Jason Vincent, Executive Director of the Pennyrile Area Development District. "Having served as our Deputy Chief Financial Officer, she brings valuable institutional knowledge and a strong understanding of our financial operations. We are confident she will continue to build on the solid foundation established by Alisha during her 25 years of dedicated service and provide outstanding leadership as our new Chief Financial Officer."

 Sutton will retire on July 31, concluding a distinguished 25-year career with PeADD. During her tenure, she played an integral role in strengthening the agency's financial management systems and ensuring the fiscal stewardship that supports PeADD's mission and the communities it serves.
