On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I look forward to working with you and all members of the campus community as we embark on the search for the college’s eighth president. To begin, the Board has contracted with RH Perry, an experienced executive search firm, to partner with all campus stakeholders and SUNY to facilitate the presidential search.
Representative(s) from the firm will hold constituent group meetings as part of the development of an Executive Profile to be used during the marketing and recruitment phase of the search. These meetings will be offered during the first week of October, and there will also be an online survey sent to every member of the college community to solicit feedback.
As promised, this process is one we hope will engage every member of our community. All students, faculty and staff are invited and encouraged to participate to share ideas about the qualities and qualifications necessary in our next president and weigh in on the opportunities and challenges they may face in the years ahead. You will also be able to ask questions about the presidential search process.
More information regarding the meeting schedule and format will be available later next week. Please plan to participate however you can. In addition, a search committee will soon be selected, and a dedicated webpage will be available to keep everyone informed as we select a visionary leader who shares our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and student success.
Sincerely,
Neil Kelleher, Chair, Board of Trustees
Hudson Valley Community College
