Hello! I am Bobbie Beth Scoggins, president of the National Association of the Deaf. This is a special announcement on the CEO Search process, begun in the summer of 2009 by the NAD Board of Directors.

In October 2009, the Board established an ad hoc CEO Search Committee (CSC) comprised of eight representatives, including two Board members.

For the next several months, the CSC collected stakeholder feedback and developed a CEO profile and announcement for Board approval. Once this was posted, the CSC worked hard to recruit prospects, evaluate initial applicants, and interview selected individuals.

In the spring of 2010, the CSC completed its charge with submission of the names of top candidates to the Board with all collected information.

On behalf of the Board, I wish to express our deepest gratitude to the eight members of the CSC for contributing their valuable time and expertise and helping to move along the CEO Search.

After careful review and further consideration, the Board is now ready to release the names of finalists for the CEO position.

This is an exciting time – we are now ”“this close” to selecting a CEO who will lead national advocacy efforts for our community and will serve a highly visible spokesperson on many important issues affecting us.

It is now my great pleasure to announce CEO finalists, in alphabetical order:

Shane H. Feldman
Charity Reedy Hines
Howard A. Rosenblum
Darlene Goncz Zangara

Each of the CEO finalists will give their presentations to the public and interact with stakeholders at the 50th Biennial NAD Conference which takes place July 6-10, 2010 in Philadelphia, PA.

Profiles on each of the finalists are now available at www.nad.org/ceosearch, where you can also get in-depth information on the CEO Search process including vlogs and announcements, timelines, position description, finalist profiles,
frequently asked questions, and related details.

Transparency is important to us. We want to make sure everyone knows what’s happening with the CEO Search process. Please help us spread the word – share this vlog through Facebook, Twitter, and email. Share the news with your family and friends. If you have comments, you are more than welcome to contact the NAD
Board of Directors at ceosearch@nad.org.

Again, on behalf of the NAD Board, I want to congratulate each finalist for reaching this point in the CEO Search process and we express our gratitude to those who applied or sent in nominations.

We look forward to the Conference and hope to see you with us in Philadelphia!

About the NAD
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was established in 1880 by deaf leaders who believed in the right of the American deaf community to use sign language, to congregate on issues important to them, and to have its interests
represented at the national level. These beliefs remain true to this day, with American Sign Language as a core value. As a nonprofit federation, the mission of the NAD is to preserve, protect, and promote the civil, human, and linguistic rights of deaf and hard of hearing individuals in the United States of America.
The advocacy scope of the NAD is broad, covering the breadth of a lifetime and impacting future generations in the areas of early intervention, education, employment, health care, technology,
telecommunications, youth leadership, and more. For details, visit www.nad.org.
