Tom Wright advised the CFL Board of Governors this afternoon that he will not seek a renewal of his contract after this season. The CFL issued the following news release to spell out the process to come. It was released on the CFL Insider e mail service.
Statement from the Chair of the Board of Governors
Dear Insider,
The League announced today leadership changes in the CFL's Office of the Commissioner. Tom Wright notified the Executive Committee of the CFL's Board of Governors today of his decision not to seek a renewal of his contract following the 2006 season.
The Canadian Football League is a dynamic organization and a rare institution that helps define us as a country. Each year, it also brings together football fans and Canadians from across the country. As Commissioner, Tom Wright has been a positive force in the growth of the CFL and the new vision for the League.
The CFL has a process in place that will enable the organization to identify and recruit a new Commissioner for the 2007 season. We will also work with Commissioner Wright on a recruitment plan and ensure a smooth transition. The CFL brand is stronger than ever. We are confident that we'll find great candidates that will be interested in working with the CFL team to continue to build the brand and game in Canada.
We look forward to accomplishing great things in the remainder of this season and thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Gene Dunn,
Chair of the Board of Governors
