Placing An Interim

Registry members under contract are available for assignment on short notice when necessary. When a college or university is considering using an interim president or vice president, we typically interact with the board chair or the president. The Registry requests materials from the institution, and subsequently a Registry principal arranges a campus visit to initiate the placement process, as covered in our handbook. There is no fee for such a visit, but the Registry is reimbursed for travel. If the institution proceeds with the placement, the Registry determines which members appear to be best suited to the assignment, and several resumes are sent to the contact person at the institution. If the proposed candidates are deemed suitable, campus interviews are scheduled. The Registry principal sits in on the interviews, and confers with the selection committee. All candidates are well qualified with extensive experience. One will be identified as the "best fit," and the placement is made in which the Registry contracts with the institution for compensation as well as the anticipated duration of interim service.

I must say that our short but extremely productive visit with you and the candidates was one of the most satisfying professional exchanges of my presidency. I am truly impressed with the depth and breadth of your services and your methodology.
