Yes! I would also agree with this. In fact, I suggested at the meeting to Rick, that as our elected leader and public face of the league he should be writing the Second Century column not the Exec-VP (or whatever). Sorry if I am putting you on the spot Rick :) Lee On Fri, Feb 7, 2020 at 2:30 PM James Tiemstra <k6jat@comcast.net> wrote:
* Good points! In fact, until the delinquent amendments to the bylaws are filed, our current bylaws refer to the position as Executive Vice President. I believe there is some unique history as to why K1ZZ was given the title of CEO. 73, Jim Tiemstra, K6JAT Pacific Division Director On February 7, 2020 at 12:24 PM "rjairam@gmail.com <rjairam@gmail.com>" <rjairam@gmail.com <rjairam@gmail.com>> wrote: I agree with Bob. I would especially support a revision of the job title. It needs to be absolutely clear that this person isn’t hired solely for strategic vision. This person must be able to actively manage the affairs of the League including delegation like a general manager would. Perhaps executive director or executive vice-president would fit better. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Fri, Feb 7, 2020 at 3:12 PM Bob Famiglio, K3RF via arrl-odv < arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org>> wrote: Is the description of duties concentric with the bylaw definition of “The Chief Executive Officer shall manage the affairs of the League under the direction of the Board of Directors”? 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?
