As many members know, I intend to retire at the end of June 2016. The Board of Directors has been working on this transition for over a year. Last year’s President, Kathryn Gutzwiller, formed a Succession Planning Committee chaired by Past President and current ACLS Delegate Dee Clayman, to recommend criteria and procedures for the selection of the new Executive Director. The Board reviewed the Committee’s report in September 2014 and, after a meeting of the Cabinet in December 2014 to update our strategic plan, approved the retention of a search firm, Isaacson Miller, to identify candidates for the position and manage the selection process.
This year’s President, John Marincola, has formed a search committee consisting of himself as Chair, Roger Bagnall, Deborah Boedeker, Toph Marshall, Kathryn Morgan, Barbara Shailor, and Peter Struck. That committee has approved a call for nominations and applications that appears on the Isaacson Miller web site. Please review this call and the more detailed job description it provides. The call also provides links through which you can apply for the position, nominate a candidate, or submit a question to Gregory Gallagher of Isaacson Miller.
