Airey, Solfa Name 6 to Revamped Positions
> Six Moose International staffers were assigned revised--in most cases expanded--responsibilities during April and May, as Director General William B. Airey and Chief Operating Officer Leonard J. Solfa Jr. continued their rebuilding of the fraternity’s management into both a more traditional fraternal structure, and into one more responsive to the needs and situations of Moose members.
The Membership Department, which for 70 years had consistently gathered applications from candidates in numbers annually equaling 12% to 14% or more of the Order’s total membership, had been reorganized in 2004 into the Member Relations Department. But on April 10, the Supreme Council unanimously re-established the Membership Department, with 11-year Moose International veteran Darrell O’Brien, 45, as its Director. Its responsibilities include membership production, retention, development and recognition; plus sponsor recognition, length-of-service recognition, value-added member benefits, including the R. Robert Dale Scholarship program, and Life Member processing.
