The National Association of Sports Commissions has retained SearchWide Global, the executive recruitment firm, to manage the search process for their Executive Director position. SearchWide Global specializes in executive search for the sports, travel/tourism, hospitality, tradeshow and events industry.

 

“During the next few weeks we will continue to discuss the organization needs with our stakeholders and about the position,” stated Ralph Morton, Chairman of the Board of the Board of Directors. “We want to be thorough, thoughtful, and transparent as we work through this process,” continued Morton.

 

Veteran sport tourism industry leader Don Schumacher announced that he will step down in 2017, after 23 years of committed service as the Association’s only Executive Director. In 1992, under Schumacher’s leadership, the NASC was formulated with an initial group of 15 sports marketing organizations from around the country, who were dedicated to information sharing and cooperation amongst their peers. Today, the NASC is the industry’s only non-profit, member-directed association advocating for the sport tourism industry with an annual budget of $2 million and more than 800 members. Don looks forward to staying involved with the NASC while continuing a consulting practice.

 

SearchWide Global has extensive experience in recruiting C-level and Director Executives for similar leadership roles in sports organizations, associations and tourism entities.
