Breaking from a tradition of being led by former contestants, the Scripps National Spelling Bee has hired an Indianapolis not-for-profit leader with no history in the competition as its executive director, signaling a new era for the nearly century-old showcase for the top spellers in the English language.
Cincinnati-based Scripps announced Monday that J. Michael Durnil will take over immediately as bee director. He replaces Paige Kimble, who stepped down last year.
Kimble, like many people on the bee’s leadership team, is a former speller, having won the bee in 1981.
