Executive director search update

McIntyre Executive Search, the firm conducting the search for a new executive director, is deep into its recruitment process. In partnership with Stephanie Hirsh and the executive committee of the board of trustees, the firm has reached out to several hundred stakeholders, supporters, and potential candidates nationally in an effort to identify the best person to lead us into the future.

The search is progressing as planned to deliver a highly qualified slate of candidates, and we trust McIntyre to drive this process as we move into 2019. In the meantime, the board fully supports Hirsh as we all remain dedicated to the critical work of the organization. We’ll let you know when we have news to share.
