Maximizing Your Partnership with an Executive Search Firm During the Presidential Search Process

The vast majority of higher education presidential searches are conducted with the support of an executive search firm. Executive search professionals bring deep industry knowledge, critical search expertise, and access to a broad network of potential candidates. In this session, we will discuss how higher education boards of trustees and senior leadership can maximize their partnerships with search firms, including guidance on:

• Determining the qualities you need in an executive search firm partner
• Identifying roles and responsibilities of the search firm during a presidential search
• Managing the search process internally and externally
