    Search underway for new executive director

    December 1, 1999

    State Bar President Leonard Loeb has appointed a 22-member search committee, chaired by Past President Franklyn Gimbel of Milwaukee, to conduct a nationwide search for an executive director of the State Bar. Stephen L. Smay, executive director of the State Bar for more than 20 years, resigned in August.

    The committee has refined the position description and created a job profile, both of which were approved by the Board of Governors at its Nov. 12 meeting.

    At the board's direction, the committee sought proposals from executive search firms nationwide with experience in recruiting key staff for member associations and not-for-profit entities. After extensive review of the proposals, and interviews with representatives from the leading firms, the committee contracted with Gielow Associates Inc. of Milwaukee to assist in the search for a new executive director.

    The executive director search committee seeks member input on candidate qualifications and the role of the executive director. Send signed correspondence to Gimbel or any committee member at the following address: Executive Director Search Committee, State Bar of Wisconsin, P.O. Box 7158, Madison, WI 53707-7158.
