ASNE on the
move
ASNE has launched a nationwide search to fill the position of executive
director. Lee Stinnett, the current executive director, will retire
next June 30.
The search committee, which will be headed by Vice President Chris
Anderson, includes the officers and several directors. Stinnett will
administer the search.
The committee seeks a seasoned manager with journalism and association
experience to head its headquarters staff based in Reston, Va.
“The association experience could either be as a volunteer or as paid
professional staff,” Anderson said.
“We seek a detail-oriented, creative thinker who can work effectively
with busy editors,” he said. “The executive director deals with a variety
of people — prominent public figures, other members of the public, the
press, funders, and staff.”
The ASNE executive director heads a seven-person staff, and manages
ASNE’s cash flow, which now exceeds $2 million annually. The job description
is available at this link. Deadline for applications is Dec. 15.
Members and other friends of ASNE are urged to submit the names of possible
candidates to one of the members of the search committee or to Stinnett.
The search committee includes Anderson, The Gazette, Colorado
Springs; President Edward Seaton, The Manhattan (Kan.) Mercury;
Secretary Rich Oppel, Austin (Texas) American-Statesman; Treasurer
Tim McGuire, Star Tribune, Minneapolis; Treasurer-elect Diane
McFarlin, Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune; past president Sandy Rowe,
The Oregonian, Portland; and board member Gregory Moore, The Boston
Globe.
