Guggenheim Gets Around to Hiring a Search Firm for Director

Lisa Dennison announced her surprise resignation from the directorship of the Guggenheim Museum on July 31. Three months later, they’ve finally gotten around to hiring a search firm.
This just in from the press office:
William Mack, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, announced today that the Board search committee has hired Phillips Oppenheim to conduct a search for a new director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York….The [search] committee has not yet begun to contact candidates nor has it set a deadline to complete the search process.
I guess they’re in no hurry. After all, they’ve got Marc Steglitz, the finance expert, in charge. Mack must have had a loose definition of “immediately” in mind when he announced Aug. 6:
Recruiting her [Dennison’s] successor will be a priority for the board and we will begin that process immediately.
