Drumlines.org Fantasy Drum Corps is seeking a new Executive Director for Season 3 and on.

Current Executive Director, Mark Bernal, will be stepping down when the right candidate is found. Opportunities in DCI will prevent Mark from continuing his duties to DLOFDC.

"Well, an opportunity arose for me to be on staff with the Cavaliers Drum and Bugle corps," said Mr. Bernal. "Being on the road full time with the Cavaliers would make it impossible for me to be Executive Director for DLOFDC and run it efficiently."

In light of the news, the search is on for a new Executive Director. There may be promotion from within the Board of Directors, but its the feeling of Mr. Bernal to find out if there is anyone interested in taking over the mammoth responsibilities associated with the job.

Along with being Exec. Director, the possible candidate will need to be home throughout the spring and the summer. Also, the candidate will have a strong knowledge of drum and bugle corps, as well as some profiency in computer skills and Excel. Finally, the possible candidate will have to show a strong committment to continuing the tradition of DLOFDC here on drumlines.org. Last season was the biggest yet with nearly 90 fantasy corps over 3 divisions. The hopes from Mr. Bernal and the rest of the board is that that will grow and become more refined for the next season.

IF you are interested in submitting your name for consideration, reply here expressing your interest and the corps you were director of, if applicable. Consideration will be offered to those who are new to DLOFDC, but those who were fantasy directors will be at an advantage.

Depending on the number of applicants interested, we will narrow down the field to around 3 or 4 candidates and make the decision from there.

Once the new director is named, he/she will work closely with Mark(bernie_vkpit) and Senior Board member Josh(dlwebmaestro) to learn the details and inner workings of the day to day operations. Once the transition is complete, Mr. Bernal will be available to consult with questions and such, but his role will simply be "Executive Director Emeritus".

Get your names in if interested! Deadline for submitting your name for consideration is January 15th, 2005.

Hey! Mark

I'm interested in your position.

Do you fit in all of the requirements?

I, Scott Smith, who is the Director of The Engineers, would like to add my name to the list of candidates.

I, Matt Timman, director of the Mighty Crimson Knights (Div. 1) and Sylvania Black and Gold (Div. 2), also submit my name for consideration.

I, Alexander J. Zielinski, director of ESTES, submit my name for consideration.

Mark,

I would like to take on the position that you are vacating. I have the computer skill level that is required for this position.

I have thought over this and I have decided that I would like to put my name in.

I have been working with web/graphics design for a while and I feel that I have enough knowledge to pursue the opening position. I also have the time in the summer and I also understand the importance of this position and that it involves much of my time.

With that being said, I Brian Hill, director of the Homestar Runners (Div. 3) would like to be considered for the position. Thanks

I have some free time now that I am done at 1 daily at work, so I fit the bill for this one. The whole excel and drum corps knowledge thing too... So I have this to say in closing...

Thanks alot a lot so far for the responses guys. If we get up to 25 candidates before the deadline, then ill stop it right there and then and continue with the process.
