"We're in a specific second, we're searching for a between time mentor, we have an interval seat, we're searching for a full-time frame seat. We have a great deal of conversations in progress," Harrison said. "Here I think I have the help of the board and it is an extremely intense second. What's more really, the hardest second that I've encountered in my profession, yet I'm not fleeing.
