Hi, Dick. Thanks for sharing this with ODV. I have a few comments from an initial quick read. 1) The first line of text needs the name of our organization corrected. 2) The second bullet under "Program Development" appears at odds with the last bullet under "Qualifications". How can an Amateur Radio license AND status as a long-term active Ham not be mandatory if the candidate is to provide counsel on all aspects of Amateur Radio to the board? 3) Under "Qualifications", the fourth bullet includes "board development". This seems more relevant to an industrial or commercial organization, where management influences the selection of board members. Since our board members are nominated and selected by members, it's not clear to me how traditional board-development skills or experience would come into play, and inclusion of such suggests a more generic document than I would hope we are getting. 4) The next-to-last bullet under "Qualifications" is a requirement for international business experience. Although the League has significant international exposure on the regulatory front and does attract foreign members, we're not developing significant markets overseas, dealing with big import / export issues, relocating employees around the world, deciding where to manufacture, or most of the other activities commonly associated with international business. Thus, it's not clear to me why international business experience is a requirement. I look forward to the discussions of this document and the search process. Thanks to the Committee members for the time they are putting into this effort. 73, Marty N6VI From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of dick@pobox.com Sent: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 8:55 PM To: arrl-odv@arrl.org Subject: [arrl-odv:23549] BOARD CONFIDENTIAL: CEOSC Smooth Draft CEO Job Description Importance: High 2 DEC 2014 - 2254 CST *** BOARD CONFIDENTIAL *** Attached to this message is the result of 14 month's of CEO Search Committee (CEOSC) research and meetings and the input of Executive recruiter Gary Buxton, K0GVT, in the development of this smooth draft the CEO Job Description. It is planned to use this document in public notices advertising this job opening resulting from the retirement of CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ. The CEOSC has also done some research on our current CEO's compensation and benefits package and relocation expenses in order to prepare an appropriate, board-approved, package to be used in candidate negotiations. Both the job description and financial package require ARRL board approval. It is planned to vote on the job description at our January 2014 board meeting. The financial package should be approved before the CEO search is started. The committee is open to questions and suggestions from the other 10 directors, the volunteer officers, and the vice directors. As long as there is no discussion of specific dollar costs or potential candidates, the CEOSC, President Craigie, and CEO Sumner believe this discussion can be held on the ODV reflector. Please remember this message and all subsequent discussion is BOARD CONFIDENTIAL and is not to be published or discussed outside of the ARRL board family. 73 - Dick Isely, W9GIG CEOSC Secretary
