Executive Search Services
As California’s premier executive search firm, Leadership Associates has assisted school boards in their selection of superintendents in more than 500 California school districts and organizations since 1996. We have also assisted other educational organizations in the selection of their executive leaders.
We are proud of the fact that school boards are highly satisfied with our assistance in finding quality candidates from which to select. We work for the Board of Trustees. The Board is in charge of the process and the selection. The search process is an opportunity for the Board to solidify their own teamwork and set the direction for the future. Boards of Trustees select our firm for many reasons, including our record of success, our experience, our skills, our network, and our integrity.
