[Lnc-business] Executive Director Search

[Nicholas Sarwark]

It is not my intention to disclose the names of the candidates who
applied for the position of Executive Director.  When hiring for a
senior position, many applicants are at other senior positions and may
not want it to be made public that they are considering a new
position.

I'm happy to report on the search process at the upcoming LNC meeting,
however far along we are at that meeting, including confidential
information that can be shared in executive session.

Yours truly,
Nick
