The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan is looking for a general manager.
However, the position could go to one of the two people currently sharing the job, should they choose to apply.
“We tried an experiment,” explained president Norm Hall from his tractor May 9.
That experiment was to replace former manager Niall Kuyek, who retired last summer, with two people each at 60 percent time. Doug Faller and Mitch Demyen shared the job and overlapped in the office on Wednesdays.
“We set a late spring goal for ourselves that if it wasn’t working we’d look at making a change,” Hall said.
He said the board has been evaluating the situation since December and decided to go with an open hiring process. The two incumbents are aware they might be out of their jobs.
But Hall said while the two each had their own areas of responsibility, they were spending too much time communicating about the areas of overlap.
Essentially, he said, it just wasn’t working.
