Event Description:
One of the most important decisions a Board ever makes is their choice of a new Executive Director. Hiring the right new ED depends as much on a fit with style, culture, and values as it does on skill sets. It also depends a lot on how prepared you are as an organization for that transition.
We’ll discuss these questions:
- What do you need to do organizationally to prepare for a new ED?
- What is a typical timetable for an ED hire, and how much time is required of those on the search committee?
- What kind of outreach produces the best results?
- What are the pros and cons of using a recruiting firm or consultant to help with the process?
- When should you start preparing for your search?
Join Cathey Briggs, Interim Executive Director of TACS, and Bob Hazen, Founder and Director of TACS’ Executive Transition Services (ETS). Since 2001, Bob has placed over 80 interim directors through ETS, and has led over 40 Executive Director searches. He has created and run several businesses with strong social values in fields from the environment to social justice, and has served the nonprofit sector for many years. He has an MA in international non-profit management.
As an affiliate of TACS' Executive Transition Services, Cathey Briggs has worked as an interim ED with seven organizations and seven Board Chairs - each with a unique style. Having also served as Board Chair or Board committee member for a number of nonprofit organizations, Cathey brings with her both the perspective of board member AND interim ED.
