The AEA 267 Board of Directors met with search consultants from G. Tryon & Associates prior to their regular board meeting on March 3. The board spent time reviewing a Leadership Profile based on input received from discussions with the board, four focus groups and 59 responses to a Leadership Profile Survey identifying strengths and qualities desired in the agency’s next Chief Administrator. The Leadership Profile described 11 qualities from which the board had a chance for reaction and further refinement. A final draft will be used in screening applicants and in the selection of interview questions.
The deadline for applications is March 8. On March 26, the board will meet with the firm to receive the 4-5 semi-finalists recommended for interview. Interviews are set to take place March 31 and April 1 with a candidate hopefully selected immediately following. Interviews for the Assistant Chief Administrator/Director of Personnel will begin in late April with the successful Chief Administrator candidate participating.
