The search committee put a special emphasis on fundraising and that ended up playing a huge factor hiring their current AD. In fact, they re-started the process after going through the process. An inside candidate, an alumni with ties to the community was among the original finalists. But, the committee didn't feel any of the candidates had the necessary background in fundraising and they re-opened the position with more of an emphasis on that skill. I have heard good things about the current AD. Sounds like he has brought a lot of energy and a strong work ethic to the position so far. Time will tell.
