Movement toward Movement

Ken had some "frank" conversations with the BSA Western Region honchos. He said he was interested in ANYTHING - ANYWHERE. He reiterated our personal issues (age of our kids) and his understanding that the economy and other factors will make it nearly impossible to make goals next year. So, he looks good now, but is realistic that it won't last. So, we have a limited window (since they only look at current performance and nothing more) in which to leave. Les (Ken's boss) has talked with Regional people in the South and Central Regions as well. There are openings in SC, GA, OH. BUT....they also sent him the profile "what the perfect candidate will look like" for the Tacoma council. It literally looked like they knew Ken, his experiences and his leadership style when they wrote it. IF the Regional Exec. can be convinced to push Ken as the best choice, this is a definite possibility. Ken thinks that the fact that he is willing to leave the Region might help him. The next few weeks should be interesting. I'll keep you posted.
