Basic Qualifications of an Executive Director
The Executive Director for the Mineral Fiber Research Institute should combine a scientific background, an orientation
to industry, administrative capacities, and the ability to-make effective appearances before open audiences, the press, and
governmental bodies.
. '
He should be able to grasp easily general policy laid
down by a Board of Trustees and effectively formulate this policy
into an action plan. Administrative capacity and responsibility plus effective
ness as a public spokesman are probably .of prime importance, followed closely by a knowledge of the industry's problems and
acquaintance with the scientific aspects.
.
All of these qualifications, to some degree or other, may
be found by seeking an Executive Director from the ranks of a
university, or a scientific institution, from government, or from
industry -- especially among those who may be faced with, or
.
have already had, early retirement but could still be effectively
active..
Suggested Letter - 12/1/66
Appendix C
Dear _____
> We are inviting you and a few other leaders in the asbestos
and other mineral fibers industry to meet together (when)
for the purpose of initiating an industry-supported scientific
research program into possible health effects of mineral fibers.
Increasingly, public health authorities, particularly in
federal health and regulatory agencies, .are focusing their
attention on industrial products being introduced into the
environment. Concern ranges from relatively limited effects of
occupational exposures to much broader implications relating
to the general public, or to relatively small groups within the
public.
'
,
Along with many other substances, asbestos, fiber glass
and other mineral fibers are coming more and more under scrutiny
as possible air contaminants affecting health, not only in
industry but in the general public. Although most published
studies, and work that is underway, have been directed at
asbestos fibers, attention recently has been extending to other
mineral fibers with similar or other uses. Such possible effects
as allergic reactions also are coming under study.
We believe it is essential for the industry to take leader
ship in sponsoring health research that will help develop the factual
data needed to answer questions -- before they become matters of public controversy. Instances are already known to most of us
Appendix C - 2-
Where some public concern has been aroused by published reports suggesting involvement of mineral fibers in health problems.
We are proposing the establishment of a Mineral Fibers Research Institute that will be in the public interest as well as the industry's interest. Some scattered company-sponsored research is currently in progress but we believe all would he better served if a coordinated, well-planned and executive . research program were to be conducted under the auspices of a research institute.
We hope you will be able to join us.
