RAB Hires Search Firm for Top Slot

The Radio Advertising Bureau has hired an executive search firm to help identify candidates for its top post, president and CEO. Gary Fries, who has held that job for more than 14 years, said in August he would not seek to renew his contract, which expires in December 2006.
Joe Bilotta of Buckley Broadcasting is chairman of the RAB board and search committee. He said the board hired the Spencer Stuart Executive Search Firm.
