[Lnc-business] Executive Director Search

Bottom line for me. I'm not an officer, but this process is ongoing for
what appears to be six months with interested parties not receiving
communication and no one receiving a timeline. I had trust initially, but
this is dragging on and eroding basic trust in the process simply because
the process is unknown. I understand keeping applicants name private. I
don't understand waiting until infinity to find out when the LNC will
approve the person. I don't have any reassurance that the LNC will be given
any more than a name to vote on. I don't have reassurances that all
applicants are being equally solicited for follow-up. I don't even have
assurances that our offices, the people who, if something happens to Nick,
are charged with figuring out the next steps.

This is simply not how a professional organization operates and, the LNC
and membership, are entitled to certain assurances, at least in the form of
a timeline of no other transparency occurs.
