The founder of the Madison, Wisc.-based, nine-staffer PR watchdog says, "At 56, I want a less demanding life with more personal time."
His successor will be a high-energy fund-raising pro with an understanding of the world of public interest social change, he said.
Stauber says he launched CMD 16 years ago with $5,000 because the "world needed a public interest group devoted to documenting and exposing how government propaganda and corporate spin undermine democracy and progressive social change."
His successor will lead CMD as it probes areas of human rights, citizen empowerment, social and economic justice, ecological sustainability and political and corporate accountability, according to the job specs. CMD wants a new executive director in place by the summer.
Boston-based Egmont Assocs is handling the search for Stauber’s replacement. A cover letter, resume and salary history goes to segmont [at] egmontassociates.com or 85 East India Row #24, 02110. |
