Dave, The timeline is mostly driven by the goal of having the new CEO attend the January Board meeting. The month of December is a write-off for recruiting, according to Gary Buxton. If we can relax the requirement to attend in January, there is a lot more time available. The schedule Jim showed is a compromise between the January Board meeting requirement and enough time for the search and evaluation. In the event, we may be forced to relax that constraint if our offer to our first-choice candidate is not accepted. If our second choice is also very good, there might not be a hiccup. But if we have to go back to our group of semi-finalists, that will probably push us over the January edge. With regard to transition date, Doug is right about a candidate potentially wanting to defer starting in order to receive a bonus or other additional compensation for 2015. That might work in our favor, since it would reduce the time of overlapping salaries as the new person joins the organization. The Dec 1 date reflects the December write-off, but a later start date might be preferable. Greg, K0GW On Wednesday, July 29, 2015, Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ <dsumner@arrl.org> wrote:
Jim, as Doug has mentioned the timetable is rather aggressive. October QST is the first issue that will be available for a job posting in the organization's official journal, so a September 30 cutoff is somewhat early. Even worst case (i.e. someone coming in with little or no background in the ARRL), six months for transition is very generous. There are also budgetary considerations with regard to a special Board meeting and overlapping salaries, including Harold's.
Two dates to keep in mind around the week of November 16: the A&F meeting on the 2016 budget plan (among other things) is scheduled for November 14. Ballot counting in contested division elections is November 20.

Jim:
It looks very good-you, the committee, and the consultants did a great job.
The only nit could be the 12/1 transition beginning date. Between the selectee needing to give notice to their current employer (likely two weeks) and relocate to CT if they aren't already there, that's pretty aggressive. Depending on the selectee's current employment, they may also need to remain in that position through the end of the year to receive an annual performance bonus.
December 1 would be a good target date, but January 1 may be more realistic.

Good Morning ODV:
Attached you will find the CEOSC's plan for the next several months. It contains 'time critical' portions such as the timeline, detailed job description and evaluation plan. Additionally there are sections such as a plan of transition and an assessment of the use of professional search firms, that are important but heavily dependent on factors unknown at this time.
The process here will be: a 'comment period' that begins now and ends at 1700 EDT on Friday July 31, 2015. This time frame will allow you to comment on the critical aspects of our plan, ask questions and become more familiar with the upcoming months efforts.
Once the comments and questions have been addressed, the CEOSC will submit its plan to the EC for an authorized electronic vote to approve. Once the vote has been taken, and if it results in the affirmative, we will execute the plan and begin the search for a new CEO.
Please understand that this plan is the work of the committee and its consultants, not the work of any one individual. I want to thank the committee members for their hard work and dedication to the process, and the various consultants for their valued input.
73 and good Hamming
Jim Pace, K7CEX ARRL the National Association for Amateur Radio Northwestern Division Director
