Leadership Associates brought an impressive wealth and breadth of experience and contacts from large and small, urban and rural, coastal and inland school districts. They listened and recognized that although we are a small, rural district, we have high, twenty-first century goals for our kids.
Thank you for a truly outstanding search process and for accommodating our requests to ensure we felt heard and supported throughout. We are beyond thrilled with the outcome and appreciate your wisdom, guidance, and professionalism.
They were consummate professionals, and their process was impeccable—soliciting input from the Board and community members, developing personal and professional profiles, screening the applicants, recommending the final candidates, and helping the Board finalize the main hiring points for our new superintendent.
We were all impressed with the timeliness and thoroughness of the search. We are so appreciative of your professionalism and support in finding our new Superintendent. Also, You found an outstanding Interim Superintendent, who made the perfect addition to NMUSD for the 2-month bridge. The transition was seamless!
We were presented with six outstanding candidates, and Leadership Associates ran the interviews like clockwork with plenty of time for reflection of each candidate at the end. We were delighted to work with Leadership Associates and will gladly recommend them as the premier search team.
You cannot go wrong working with Leadership Associates. They are so professional, with such integrity and reputation. Of course, the Board must do their work as well – but if they do so in partnership with Leadership Associates and are not 100% satisfied at the end, I would personally be shocked. They are that good.
