Also, I hope they take their time. With an apparently competent interim leader, what's the hurry? I'd like to see Mr. Pelton in charge through next year's Oshkosh. By then everybody should be able to decide whether they think he's the right person for the job--and the board will have had time to consider lots of candidates.
Which brings us to the obvious question: If you were in charge of looking for a new President/CEO...what would be the person's qualifications? What would be must-haves on a resume? What would be an automatic rejection (other than a last name ending in "aja" :-)?

In short: What makes a good EAA President?
