What we've shown is not having a full-time director has been a mistake, and I would urge the next board to invest financially in the hiring of someone. The way we've been doing it (searching personal networks + low-key announcements on blogs & mailing lists) isn't going to get it done. A headhunter/agency who will place ads, screen candidates and get us a qualified person in 3 to 6 months is a worthwhile investment. I agree that expecting a 7 person volunteer board to take care of the administration and day to day running of the foundation is asking too much. I also believe that doing so of a 9 person volunteer board would be asking too much.
