IRB Administrator as Chair

It comes back to matching skill sets for increased efficiency.  Odds are the Board chair was chosen, or elected, based on their leadership skills.  Or, was this person chosen based on their keen ability to organize documentation per standard procedures to ensure compliance and reduce error rate?  The Chair role and Administrator role are very different tasks requiring different skill sets.  While perusing the warning letters to IRBs, one finds that the gaps are the ability to operate consistently in compliance with Federal and State regulations.  The devil is in the details and that is where the Administrator lives; not the Chair.  At Pearl IRB the Administration role is specifically separate from the Chair role to ensure efficient, ethical reviews.
