Tinsley Announces Retirement

CAS Starts Search for Replacement

CAS Executive Director James H. "Tim" Tinsley has announced his retirement on December 31, 2001. "Tim has done a superb job over the past ten years developing a CAS Office supportive of the increasing number and diversity of CAS activities," said CAS President Pat Grannan. "We will miss his leadership and support."

During his tenure, Tinsley oversaw the in-house production of CAS publications, the development of an association management software package, and the establishment of the CAS Web Site. Tinsley joined the CAS as executive director in 1991 when the national office was relocated to Arlington, Virginia.

The Board of Directors has formed a search committee chaired by CAS President-Elect Bob Conger. JDG Associates, a recruiting firm in the Washington, D.C. area, has been engaged to conduct an executive search in support of the Search Committee.

CAS members are encouraged to submit the names of possible candidates for the executive director position to Paul Belford, JDG Associates, 1700 Research Boulevard, Rockville, MD 20850 (telephone: 301-340-2210, e-mail: Belford@jdgsearch.com).

A job announcement providing a summary of the principal responsibilities and requirements for the CAS executive director position is posted on the CAS Web Site under "What's New" or "About CAS" sections.
