I'm glad that I reported at the end of 2012 that the Blackbaud board of directors had eased Chardon's non-compete should he leave the company by making it apply only to the United States. Chardon has spent seven years on the job, so it's likely he's earned a change of scenery. Chardon has dual U.S.-French citizenship so he also has some options. With Chardon's departure, Blackbaud goes from a group of executives with lots of years in their positions to a much less-tenured group. In November 2011, the company hired Anthony W. Boor as CFO to replace Timothy V. Williams, who retired after 10 years on the job.
