ATLANTA — The five-member State Board of Pardons and Paroles has elected Terry Barnard as chairman for Fiscal Year 2024, which begins July 1.
Unprecedented in modern times, this will be Barnard’s ninth term as chairman. He is the second-longest-serving chair in the 80-year history of the agency. The board’s first chairman, Edward B. Everett, served nearly 10 years from March of 1943 to January of 1953.
