It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our President and CEO, Inez Long. She passed away suddenly on June 29, 2024.
Inez was a visionary leader who dedicated her life to the growth and success of BBIF. She led with passion, integrity, and a steadfast commitment to innovation and excellence. Under her leadership for over 30 years, BBIF has achieved numerous milestones and expanded its impact across the industry.
“Our hearts are heavy with the loss of Inez, our beloved Madame President,” said BBIF Board Chair Jacqueline Barr. “We are grateful for her extraordinary contributions and leadership. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.”
The Board of Directors will appoint an interim CEO to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the company’s operations without interruption. Further details will be shared in the coming days.
We ask for respect and privacy for Inez’s family as they navigate this tragic loss.
Our offices are closed today, Monday July 1st. During this adjustment period, our team may have limited accessibility. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we manage through this transition.
Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time.
– The BBIF Team
