The ABA has picked longtime chief operating officer Oren Teicher to succeed Avin Domnitz as the organization’s CEO. President Gayle Shanks writes to members, “His encyclopedic knowledge of everything associated with ABA’s past and current programs, coupled with his thoughtful and insightful analysis of how ABA can meet our future challenges, combined to make him our clear choice.”
Shanks also notes that “as recommended several years ago by our Governance Review Committee, details
surrounding the new CEO contract will be made available to the membership after
they are finalized. The Board wants to assure the membership that the terms
of the new CEO’s contract will fit well within the norm for trade associations
of our size.” (At the group’s annual meeting in 2006, some objections were raised over the CEO’s compensation, which was $490,000 in 2007 according to the organization’s 990 tax form.)
