New S.S.B. C.E.O. to be Revealed Next Week 

After forty-two years at the Social Security Board, Chief Executive Officer Deborah Ruiz is stepping down from her post. Ruiz has served as C.E.O. since 2022 but has chosen not to renew her contract this year. We spoke with her today, who explained the decision to retire. She also informed us when the new C.E.O. will be announced. Here’s more on that. 

 

Deborah Ruiz, C.E.O., S.S.B.

“I feel good. Yes, my term has come to an end, so you could consider it my official retirement. I decided not to renew, to take care of myself. I have served the organization forty-two years, I started out as a temporary clerk and have reached to the C.E.O. level. And I just think it’s time for me to take care of me for a bit. And so I decided not to renew and go into my own pursuits at this time.”
