Re: Presidential Search Update III

The Presidential Search Committee held its third meeting on Friday, February 3. At this meeting, the Committee reviewed and approved the search profile that will be used to guide our process. The profile was shaped in important ways by the listening sessions in which many of you participated and by the input surveys that were returned. The Search Committee very much appreciates the many helpful ideas and suggestions that were received.

The approved profile includes a description of the Seminary, a summary of the leadership opportunities that await our new President, and the most important attributes for leadership that will be used in evaluating all candidates. In addition, at this meeting, the search committee affirmed a national recruitment plan to reach interested candidates and others who might nominate potential applicants.

Our search will officially launch on Friday, February 10, and the process of building our candidate pool will continue until our full consideration deadline which is April 15, 2023. The Committee anticipates the selection of semi-finalists as well as the reference checking and interview process will begin shortly thereafter.

The search profile will be posted on our Seminary website and AGB Search website on February 10. We encourage you to review the profile and submit nominations of individuals who you believe might serve effectively as our next President and/or the names of those who might know of potential candidates. Your suggestions may be emailed to LPTSPresident@agbsearch.com or directly to our AGB Search Consultants, Shannon McCambridge or Loren Anderson.
The Search Committee is grateful for your support of the search process and looks forward to receiving your suggestions and nominations of candidates who might serve as our next President. We will provide a further update on the search following our next meeting which is scheduled for February 28.

Throughout the search process, the committee will communicate with the campus so that you can know where we are in our search. We ask for your prayers as we begin this process leading to that person who will joyfully and intentionally join us in our WHOSOEVER commitment.

In appreciation,
Mary Gene Boteler (she, her, hers)
Chair, Presidential Search Committee
