another month to interview candidates. Assuming that the person they hire will then need to give notice to their current employer, that would put it at the four-month estimate.
After the new center director is in place, the board plans on hiring support staff.
"We plan to grow organically to see what staff is needed," Ford said, theorizing that a program coordinator, communications director, development and grant-writing staff members may be in the organization's fu-
ture.
Once that structure is in place, the board will then begin a thorough search for an executive director, who will oversee the "philosophical and financial development" of the community center.
"I think what's happening is, they're looking at this in a different way," Rothan said.
She replaces Kellye Pinkleton, whose most recent position was interim executive director. Before that, she served as director of programming and center coordinator.
Pinkleton left to become field director for Jennifer Brunner's campaign to be secretary of state. There, she joined her former boss Kate Anderson, who resigned as Stonewall Columbus executive director in 2005 and is now Brunner's campaign manager. The Democratic candidate also has Patrick Gallaway, who departed Stonewall Columbus about four years ago, as her press secretary.
Despite the "interim" in her title, Rothan's tenure will not be a cakewalk. She must immediately start preparations for the 2006 installment of A Night Out, which will be held in late October.
"We're looking at a couple different spaces right now, we're forming a committee, and we will have our annual awards ceremony just like always," she said. "It should be a fun night with a lot of frivolity and fundraising," she laughed.

While he acknowledges that his organization did outreach in the old location, it was sporadic at best.
"The reason we went with the MOU [memorandum of understanding] approach with this is because it was episodic," he noted, saying that one manager would agree to testing, then a new manager would come in and rescind the invitation.
"It has to be from the top down," he said. "This gives us an institutional framework to talk about common accountability."
The new location, in a light industrial area east of downtown, is intended to go beyond the idea of a bathhouse simply as a sex club, much as Club Cleveland's new location on Detroit Avenue did with its extensive gym facilities.
Flex has three pools, a gym, restaurant and sauna. In addition to the traditional lockers and rooms found in bathhouses across the globe, Flex Cleveland will also have more spacious hotel rooms, rented at normal hotel rates, including rooms with whirlpools and a presidential suite with a piano.
Attempts to reach Flex Cleveland for comment were unsuccessful.
