TORONTO – The Canadian Football League has announced a search process that will lead to the hiring of a new Commissioner.

The league’s Board of Governors has formed a Search Committee to lead the process to hire the eventual successor to Commissioner Mark Cohon, who has announced that he would not seek a renewal of his contract, which expires next spring.

The Committee will be chaired by CFL Chairman Jim Lawson, and will include several CFL Governors, while senior leadership from each CFL Member Club will have extensive input throughout the search process.

“The Committee is looking forward to a process that will result in securing the best possible candidate for this prestigious position at an important time for our league,” Lawson said.

The Committee has engaged Spencer Stuart, one of the world’s leading executive search consulting firms, to facilitate the process.
