To the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Community:
Over the last several weeks, we have been working with the search firm, Greenwood Asher & Associates, on the initial phases of the search process for the College's next President. During that time, we have established and engaged the Presidential Search Committee, developed recruiting materials, and have been collecting feedback from the College community on what they believe we need in our next President. This latter step has included:
Nine listening sessions with key stakeholder groups - students, student groups, faculty, staff, and alumni the week of September 27; and
‘Virtual Town Hall’ online survey launched October 4 to get input from the ACPHS community. The deadline to complete this survey has been extended to October 20.
With the Announcement/Formation and Planning phases now complete, we are moving into the Recruiting phase and are placing advertising, seeking nominations and recommendations, and having recruiting conversations. This phase is expected to go from October to December 2021, and we are expecting a Prospect Review Meeting in January 2022.
We are all recruiters for this critical role, so I encourage your proactive identification of potential candidates who have the potential to lead this esteemed institution. If you have any questions on the recruiting process, or would like to confidentially submit a candidate, please email PresidentSearch@acphs.edu. This email address is monitored only by our search firm.
