Is this the first time a CEO has been proposed? what

threads to see what the arguments are for having one.
We have been talking about this for at least a couple years; the last time we did so
publicly was
just mentioned and linked to by Erik. The reason why this is necessary is due to the fact
that we
long ago reached the limit on what volunteers alone can accomplish. We have therefore been
missing
out on many different potential opportunities (for getting grants, very large donations
and to
reach our ultimate goals) simply because we have not had proper staffing. And a staff
needs a
person to manage them and the daily aspects of running the organization. Simply put, we
are
transitioning from the amateur football club model to a professional organization. Staff
are an
investment.
