Who is responsible for hiring the Executive Director of Kappa Alpha Psi?

The Grand Board of Directors is responsible for hiring the Executive Director of Kappa Alpha Psi. This authority is rooted in the governance structure of the fraternity, where the Grand Board acts on behalf of the national organization and has the responsibility to oversee the implementation of policies and procedures, including key executive appointments. The Executive Director plays a crucial role in managing the day-to-day operations and ensuring that the fraternity's goals and objectives align with its mission.

This decision is not made locally by chapters, nor is it left to alumni members or decided at the National Conclave, as those bodies do not hold the same level of authority regarding organizational leadership appointments. The governance and oversight by the Grand Board not only ensures consistency but also brings a level of accountability and strategic direction to the fraternity's operations.
