INDIANAPOLIS (USA): The USA Track & Field Board of Directors has finalized a leadership plan that will extend the service of Interim CEO Mike McNees and institute a new committee structure designed to advance the organization’s strategic, commercial and operational objectives. The Board approved the plan at its meeting June 25-26 in Eugene, Ore. McNees, USATF’s Chief Operating Officer who has served as interim CEO since September 2010, will continue to serve in that capacity as the Board activates three committees: Management, Strategic Positioning and Operations. The committees will work intimately with the Interim CEO and key staff members, and will engage all 15 voting board members, as a transition through 2012 Olympic preparations. The USATF Board of Directors on September 13, 2010, announced it had voted to secure a leadership change in the CEO position. Since that time, it had conducted an exhaustive search for a new CEO. More than 100 candidates were initially identified and screened, with more than 25 being preliminarily interviewed. The search committee in January conducted face-to-face interviews with more than 10 of the top candidates, and three finalists had interviews before the full board earlier this year. Informs USATF.
