This is: Progress report on CEA's search for a new CEO, published by MaxDalton on August 31, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.I wanted to give an update on the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA)'s search for a new CEO.We (Claire Zabel, Max Dalton, and Michelle Hutchinson) were appointed by the Effective Ventures boards to lead this search and make a recommendation to the boards. The committee is advised by James Snowden, Caitlin Elizondo, and one experienced executive working outside EA.We previously announced the search and asked for community input in this post.Note, we set out searching for an Executive Director, and during the process have changed the role title to CEO because it was more legible to candidates not familiar with CEA or EV.

We're still considering around 15 candidates, and are currently more deeply assessing
