Dear Colleagues, I am writing to you as a member of the Giant Magellan Telescope Organization (GMTO) Board to share information about the future leadership of GMTO and to invite ideas from you. GMT is one of the most ambitious projects undertaken in astronomy. The eleven institutions that founded GMTO and that fund it remain resolutely committed to GMT and the scientific leadership that it will provide. The GMTO Board has studied possible leadership architectures for GMTO and has consulted with experts in the field. The Board has decided to recruit a talented outward-facing President. The successful candidate will have substantial experience attracting philanthropic investment and in relations with university and government officials. The President would lead the campaign to secure the remaining funding needed to complete GMT. On scientific and technical matters, GMTO would continue to be led by the current Observatory Director Patrick McCarthy and Project Manager James Fanson. The Search Committee consists of GMTO Board members: Timothy Doyle (Chair, Carnegie Institution for Science), Wayne Alexander (retired, formerly of Southwestern Bell), Taft Armandroff (University of Texas at Austin), Daniel Eisenstein (Harvard University), Buell Jannuzi (University of Arizona), and Walter Massey (School of the Art Institute of Chicago). The Search Committee selected Storbeck/Pimental & Associates to assist with this recruitment after reviewing proposals from four search firms. Storbeck/Pimental have extensive experience placing Directors and CEO’s in research institutions and foundations; and President, Chancellors and Deans in higher education.  The position description is appended below and is on the Storbeck/Pimental website http://storbeckpimentel.com/ . I encourage you to read the position description and to think of individuals who would excel in this role. Please feel most welcome to make such individuals aware of the opportunity or to pass those names onto me or to a member of the Search Committee (for example Tim Doyle as Chair, tdoyle@carnegiescience.edu). Input before/by September 2 would be most helpful. On behalf of the full Board, I appreciate everyone’s ongoing efforts across the partnership in moving GMT forward. A future update on this important search will be provided. Sincerely, Byeong-Gon Park, GMTO Board member  representing KASI/Korea
