Current commissioner Paul Angelico has overseen the Association since July 2010. Angelico will retire at the end of the 2016-17 school year following a 40-year career, 27 of which were at CHSAA.
The Board will accept applications for the commissioner role until Feb. 14. A selection of candidates will be interviewed on Feb. 22, and further interviews will take place in March and April.
The announcement of the new commissioner will be April 20.
That timeline was announced last April.
In his cover letter to potential candidates for the job, Hartnett wrote that the Board “takes this great responsibility very seriously and will make it their top priority to select the best person for the job.” They have been soliciting input from member schools and leagues over the past year.
Hartnett continued:
The position is appealing for many different reasons and is sure to have many applicants who are qualified to lead us. The Board of Directors is honored to have been given this responsibility and is looking forward to the opportunity to fill this important Colorado Activities and Athletics Administrator position with a strong leader that will move us forward into the future.
The next commissioner will be the ninth in the history of the Association, which was founded in 1921.
