da apostaganha： Haydn Gill29-Jul-2001Lack of funding has forced the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) toput on hold the appointment of its first chief executive officer(CEO).BCA president Stephen Alleyne said, however, the board of managementwas still committed to filling the position, which was to play a vitalrole in the reorganisation of the association’s administrativeoperations.Last August, the board finalised the terms, conditions and mandate forthe appointment of a CEO and the post was advertised in the media thefollowing month.At the time, we had anticipated a particular source of funding. In theend, that did not eventuate and the board felt, looking at itsfinances, it was not something that we could support, Alleyne said inresponse to a question from the SUNDAY SUN over the delay.We have chosen to defer that until such time as we can put theappropriate finances in place.His comments came against the background of BCA losses of $657 344during the financial year which ended March 31.Before the job was advertised, the BCA, as an interim measure,retained the services of former civil servant Selwyn Smith as aconsultant with responsibility for day-to-day management of the officeon a short-term basis. Smith is still performing duties as aconsultant.The search for a chief executive was undertaken with the assistance ofa leading accounting firm. Earlier this year, there were reports thatSmith, former West Indies Cricket Board executive secretary, AndrewSealy, and former Barbados Consul-General to New York, Ricky Craig,were front-runners for the job.When appointed, the CEO will be responsible to the BCA board for theimplementation of its policies and for all aspects of its dailyoperations, including strategic planning, financial management,personnel management, public relations, member services and customerservices.
