Kudos to our friends at USATF Board of Directors, who just hired the Griffin Network, a highly respected executive search firm. The board has realized that they need the new CEO and a very good one, hopefully by the Olympic Trials.
This blogger applauds the actions of USATF and for more fodder, you can reread the various blogs I have posted, with earlier pieces on the CEO Search.

A USATF search committee will work withGriffin to recruit an appropriate executive candidate to replace Craig Masback, who earlier this year resigned his position with USATF after 10 years as CEO.
