Edison Begins
Presidential Search
Edison Community College’s Board of Trustees has selected Academic
Search, Inc. as the firm to lead the College through its next
presidential search. The national search firm will implement a proven
search strategy in which they will guide Edison toward a successful
hiring decision.
Built upon years of experience, Academic Search, Inc. will implement a
search strategy, which will align the College to select a new president
who will begin 2015 fiscal year. The entire strategy is comprised of
five steps including, organizing the search, analyzing institutional
needs, recruiting a strong and inclusive candidate pool, candidate
evaluation and interviews, and facilitation of the appointment.
Most recently, consultants Eric W. Richtmyer and Jerry Israel were on
campus to meet with internal and external stakeholders to gain insight
about Edison and its distinctive attributes. From the information
gathered in the meeting, the consultants were able to construct a
profile for the ideal candidate.
The application period for the position of president is currently open
through mid-January. As applications are submitted, the Presidential
Search Committee of the Board of Trustees and the Advisory Stakeholder
Committee will begin reviewing submissions.
The next step will include a further detailed review of the candidates
in which the hiring committees involved will narrow their selection to
8-10 semifinalists. Interviews will then be conducted throughout
February and on-campus interviews will take place in March. The Edison
Board of Trustees will appoint the selected presidential candidate in
April 2015.
The Presidential Search Committee of the Board of Trustees includes
four current standing Board Members and the Advisory Stakeholder
Committee consists of seventeen staff, faculty, students, and other key
constituents.
For further information regarding the hiring process, contact Linda
Peltier, Vice President of Strategic Human Resources at 937-778-7802 or
