popular questions asked from the public about the current CEO search
process. View the captioned vlog as signed by the CSC vice chair:

The questions are:
* Who are the people representing the CSC?
* Who created the CEO position description?
* Who made the nominations?
* What happens next?
“The vision and leadership of the new CEO will significantly impact our
community, and it is important that everyone has information on the search
process,” said CSC Chair Kirsten Poston, who is deaf and also a NAD Board
member. “Everyone is welcome to help the NAD spread awareness of the CEO
search through email, blogs, Facebook and Twitter. The more people who know
about the search, the better.
Current CEO Nancy J. Bloch, appointed in 1992 as the first female executive
director, will depart by March 31, 2011. The CSC was formed by the Board of
Directors in the fall of 2009 to facilitate the search effort, which will
screen candidates and recommend finalists to be considered by the Board as
the next CEO of the NAD.
The CSC is currently interviewing applicants and plans to announce finalists
by July 2010. The finalists will be available during the 50th Biennial NAD
Conference in Philadelphia from July 6-10 to interact with everyone, meet
with stakeholder groups, and give a public presentation.
The NAD Board will make the final selection and expects to announce the next
CEO by fall 2010.

About the NAD
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was established in 1880 by deaf
leaders who believed in the right of the American deaf community to use sign
language, to congregate on issues important to them, and to have its
interests represented at the national level. These beliefs remain true to
this day, with American Sign Language as a core value. As a nonprofit
federation, the mission of the NAD is to preserve, protect, and promote the
civil, human, and linguistic rights of deaf and hard of hearing individuals
in the United States of America. The advocacy scope of the NAD is broad,
covering the breadth of a lifetime and impacting future generations in the
areas of early intervention, education, employment, health care,
technology, telecommunications, youth leadership, and more.
