The CEO Search is really on! USATF Hires a Search Firm

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.
