The theme parks and FECs trade association, IAAPA, continues to seek a new president and CEO, a post it began to advertise five months ago.
It reports "an overwhelming response from potential applications" but is apparently dissatisfied and continues to work on finding a candidate.
The organisation has employed executive search firm, Eleventh Hour, that specializes in finding high-calibre talent in the themed entertainment, creative, new media, and entertainment industries.
IAAPA has also taken the unusual step of publicising its quest to its members, emailing to them a copy of the CEO job description and directing CVs to its own human resources department.
Meanwhile, Hal McEvoy continues as interim president and CEO.
Eleventh Hour president, Jeff Ganter, said: “With our vast worldwide database and thorough knowledge of the themed/location based entertainment industry, Eleventh Hour is excited to partner with IAAPA in finding their President and CEO. “
