The Spokane Club today named John Pilcher its new CEO.

After a national search, the club's board chose Pilcher to move the athletic-social club forward. Pilcher has been serving as interim CEO for the past several months.

“I’m thrilled to be asked to lead this historic enterprise on its path to success," Pilcher said in a prepared release.

A Harvard MBA, Pilcher has been COO for the City of Spokane and was the city's first Economic Development Division Director. Pilcher is a former board member of the Spokane Regional Economic Development Council. He has been involved in numerous community projects and civic groups including Rotary 21.
