Hello Bob, Yes, the change of the title has been discussed and with the adviceof Connecticut Counsel, I was advised that the issue of a potential change of title name should be addressed with the candidates at a point after the initial receipt of the applications. Since changing the name of the position is not withinthe charge of this Committee it was decided not to discuss a change oftitle. One of the principal concerns that has been expressed by several membersof the Board is that we need to have a CEO, or a person in the same position witha different title, who will see the Board as the creators of policy, and reportto the Board. Although I do not speak for the entire CEO Search Committee,I believe that there is a strong consensus within the Committee on this point. I hope that this answers your concern.

Some duties are, but the lists of duties to be published may suggest a different relationship. And was there any thought to morphing the title to something more realistic such as Executive Director (understanding General Manager, though accurate, is not in vogue anymore except in broadcast) so as not to blur the responsibility with that of the board and particularly the board elected President with regard to policy and direction? If not, we may end up facing the same issues. Bylaw 31. The President shall preside over all meetings of the Board of Directors. He shall, subject to instructions from the Board of Directors, and with the assistance of the Chief Executive Officer, represent the League in its relationships with the public and the various governments, governmental agencies and officials with which the League may be concerned, and shall be the official spokesman of the Board of Directors in regard to all matters of League policy. . . Did we consider how these duties can be reconciled with the job description for a CEO? Do we want another 30,000 foot view guy or is that job for the board and board officers? Isn’t the CEO (Exec. Director) supposed to run the shop looking inward and providing leadership in that domain as opposed to outward? Running 225 Main Street is an important job of course, but are we giving the wrong impression to applicants?
