LANSING, MI -- The Michigan Civil Rights Commission extended the deadline to apply for the position of Executive Director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. The new deadline is Dec. 31, 2019.

The Commission approved a job description and search process on Nov. 18, 2019. During that meeting, the body placed a 30-day application window on the job search. That window would have ended Dec. 17.

"We have been pleased with the current group of applications, but we realized with the holidays some people may have been unable to meet the tight timeline," said Alma Wheeler Smith, chair of the Commission. "By extending the deadline, we hope to alleviate some of the stress and also broaden the national outreach scope so that we are certain we are hiring the most experienced person to helm the Department."
