The interim director, which as far as we know is temporary, has a  background 
and past associations that are a potential issue for some  concerned IBCLCs, 
and which may be a potential public relations/affairs issue.  

You can probably google his name for more detail about  his (past?) ties to 
industry. 
 
The IBLCE certainly needs someone with the required expertise to  place and 
keep the organization, which is really a business, on an  even keel, if it 
stays in business at all. 
 
Could the BOD have found someone with a little better public persona,  
someone with relevant and/or known lactation experience and credentials? Someone  
with no research or industry ties that could be a conflict of interest,  
....maybe a current or past board member could have filled the interim  position 
until they hired a new exec director?
 
Regarding finding a new executive director: the interim director,  while in 
his interim position, has access to every IBCLC in the world, (how  do we feel 
about that?) ....but anyway, that should be a good source of  input.
 
Also wondering: has the IBLCE BOD considered hiring a  professional executive 
search firm to find the new executive  director?
