[Kzyxtalk] new GM and? executive director?

[David]

Doug.

Can we please once and for all dispense with the lie that John Coate
"insisted that he be called Executive Director"?

The 2008 job posting, which has been sent around on this thread for all to
see (including a post by one of the current board members) clearly stated
that ED was what they were looking for.

Stop circulating another falsehood.

David

I believe the board is going to set up a hiring committee to oversee the
process. They are required by law to publicly post the job opening as part
of the process. 

John Coate, to the best of my knowledge, insisted that he be called
Executive Director upon his hiring. He also insisted that he have total co
tell over the programming. He had an interesting interpretation of the role
of the board, basically relegating it to fundraising, while all station
operations were the preview of management.  Any attempt by the board to set
policy or effect programming was considered "micromanaging."  Let's hope
they find a new anther with a more inclusive philosophy. 

I, for one, hope they drop the "Executive Director" title altogether.
