RSCVA board approves conceptual contract for new CEO

Friday, June 27, 1997 | 11:17 a.m.

The agreement with James Phillip Keene is expected to be formalized within the next few weeks.

Keene is expected to assume his job as president and chief executive officer by the end of July.

Under the agreement, Keene would receive an annual salary of $145,000 and would be entitled to an incentive bonus of up to 15 percent if he meets certain performance criteria.

Keene is head of Keene & Associates marketing consultants in Redondo Beach, Calif.

The RSCVA has floundered amid financial problems and controversies involving former executives.

Former executive Jay Milligan resigned last summer following a consultant's report of mismanagement and inefficiency. Three other department heads have lost their jobs since December.
