51’s (51) Board of Trustees has announced a partnership with Summit Search Solutions to begin a nation-wide search for 51’s next president. Currently, Summit is convening a number of internal, business and community listening sessions and focus groups in advance of the Search Committee’s first meeting.
The greater community is invited to attend a public forum Friday, May 21, at 9 a.m. and may request attendance through 51 Presidential Search. Feedback from these forums will inform the content of a position description and the position profile. Summit staff will support work to evaluate candidates, select and interview semifinalists and finalists for future presidential candidate community forums, and, ultimately, extend an offer to a tremendous candidate.
Board Chair, Molly Lenty, stated, “We’ll take the needed time, do our work, follow the necessary due diligence to ensure that we are addressing the needs of our students, the many communities we serve and, of course our faculty and staff as we prepare to select our next president.”
