APTA Search Task Force Seeks Members' Views on Next CEO

The APTA CEO Search Task Force is seeking members’ views on the most important attributes needed for APTA’s next president and chief executive officer.

Members’ input is a critical part of the open and inclusive process, which is currently underway. Members can submit their views in two ways:

First, APTA Chair Doran J. Barnes, executive director, Foothill Transit, West Covina, CA, urges all members who are attending the upcoming Legislative Conference in Washington, DC, to participate in a listening session on Sunday, March 12, 1-2:30 p.m. during the conference at the JW Marriott Hotel.

In addition, members can complete an online survey on the APTA website by clicking on "Complete Future APTA President/CEO Attributes Survey" under News Updates on the homepage.They can also directly contact Gregg Moser, ­Krauthamer & Associates.

APTA has previously held listening sessions at the Business Member Board of Governors meeting and the Transit CEOs Seminar, and another is scheduled for transit board members at their committee meeting on March 12. APTA is also soliciting the perspectives of key stakeholders and association partners.

“We encourage all members to participate and provide their views on what attributes and qualities they believe our next president should have,” Barnes said. “We are committed to finding the best person to lead APTA into the future.”

Based on the feedback, the CEO Search Task Force will develop a job description and take it into account in recruiting and selecting the individual.

The timeline calls for the APTA Board of Directors to approve the job description, compensation structure and performance appraisal process at its June meeting. Once those elements are approved, recruitment will begin and candidates will be interviewed in the fall. A final candidate is scheduled to be recommended to the board in December.
