Do you know someone who's Executive Director material?

As you might be aware, we are in the midst of an Executive Director leadership transition at Delta Gamma. We’re working collaboratively with a recruitment firm, Dewey & Kaye, to conduct an extensive nationwide search for the best candidate to lead Delta Gamma into the future. You are invited to be part of the process.

We’re seeking candidates for this Executive Director role who are passionate about the mission of Delta Gamma, possess strong, demonstrated business and organizational savvy, have a connection to Greek life, and are proven leaders, communicators, and motivators. This exempt, salaried position has an attractive compensation and benefits package to reflect the changing nature of this role. Find the complete details here: ttp://www.deweykaye.com/mosaic/JobsWatch/listings/DeltaGamma_ED2.pdf.

In concert with the leadership transition that is taking place, I am working closely with Council to focus their efforts on creating the most effective governance, staffing and communication protocols to help us continue on our path of growth and organizational excellence. Our organization is heavily matrixed, requiring someone with significant management, leadership, business acumen experience, as well as a vision for the future.


Todd Owens, our consultant at Dewey & Kaye, would be more than happy to speak personally and confidentially with potential candidates (T: 412.434.1335; F: 412.281.5925; C: 412.512.3879; E: todd.owens@deweykaye.com). Please use your social and professional networks to recommend this opportunity to qualified individuals. Thank you for your help in positioning the Fraternity for success.

It truly amazes me that it is not a requirement, or at least preferred, that the successful candidate would be a member of Delta Gamma.

Alpha Gamma Delta has had 2 Executive Directors who were not members -- an Alpha Delta Pi (Joan Rauen) and, most recently, a Kappa Alpha Theta (Kathryn Kish).

Hat tip to AGDAlum for that information here: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/showpost.php?p=1762643&postcount=6

It is preferred. From the provided pdf:

"Greek affiliation is strongly preferred; Delta Gamma membership is desired but not required."

Kappa's current Executive Director is an Alpha Phi. While having a Kappa in the role would be great, I can see how a new perspective would also be beneficial. But don't steal her Both ΔΓ and ΚΚΓ HQs are in Columbus. I need to check out ΔΓ HQ next time I'm out there!

Can you actually require that? Wouldn't that be gender discrimination?

No, it's not gender discrimination if membership in the org is a reasonable requirement for the job.

It truly amazes me when people feel the need to publically critique the operating decisions of organizations to which they do not belong.

Well, we both have an opinion then, don't we?

(and I know you meant to say publicly)

They're both acceptable spellings. 'Publicly' is more common, but 'publically' is an accepted alternate spelling.

Interesting. Are they better off writing "strongly preferred" and not even opening themselves up to having to defend what is a "reasonable requirement"?

I don't necessarily think so, and I probably should not have used the word "reasonable." Employers can have what are called "bone fide occupational qualifications" even if those qualifications result in what would otherwise be discrimination. For example, a religiously-affiliated school can limit the presidency/headmastership of the school and pehaps faculty positions to members of the religion with which the school is affiliated, because that could be seen as necessary to the school's purpose.

What would be determinative, I think, are the responsibilities and expectations of the ED position. If part of the ED's job is to engage in certain activities for which membership is a requirement (such as participating in chartering rituals), then membership in the org would, I think, be a bone fide occupational qualification. On the other hand, if the ED is mainly supposed to run the office and will have little if anything to do with the "fraternal" side of the organization, then membership may not be a bone fide occupational qualification.

I have lots of them, and I know that sometimes I should keep them to myself.

All of the Inter/national sororities and fraternities are BIG business. To expect to find a person qualified to run a business of this size (and for this job it is strictly a business), willing to live in the headquarters city, be an alum of the correct organization AND be available for this job at this given moment is a lot to expect. If there is a DG out there who is currently executive director of another sorority or fraternity I'm sure she's top of everyone's list to get poached for this job. But getting an NPC alumna would be second best, a fraternity alumnus next and then "other." (my guess of course. I don't even know the primary criterion for this job in MY sorority, to say nothing of DG)

Exactly. You could even argue that having someone who isn't a member of the GLO makes them tabula rasa in the most positive way - there won't be any favortism to any particular chapters.
