(From
Board Chair, Hal Helwig, and Screening Committee Chair, Susan Wojtkiewicz – September
25, 2007)
Presidential
Search
The Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College Board of Trustees will
commence the search for the next president of WITC. To assist in this
important process, the Board has selected the Association of Community
College Trustees (ACCT) to design an inclusive, equitable, and transparent
search process.
Our
first step was to appoint a Presidential Screening Committee that is representative
of both the college and the community. The first Screening Committee
meeting has been scheduled to occur during ACCT’s first visit, which is
scheduled for October 8 - 9, 2007.
The college community, the community at large, and
key shareholders will have the opportunity to meet with our Search
Consultants and provide input in the presidential profile. The ACCT Search
Consultants are Narcisa Polonio, Ed.D.,Vice
President of Board Leadership Services and Ms. Julie Golder, J.D., Board
Services Specialist. A series of public forums have been scheduled on Monday,
October 8 for all to participate. If
your schedule does not allow you to participate in the forums (either live or
via IP video), please feel free to share your comments and suggestions by
reaching out to Dr. Narcisa Polonio at (202) 276-1983, npolonio@acct.org; or Julie Golder at (202)
775-4466, jgolder@acct.org.
Everyone
is invited to attend and participate in this process.
The search for the next president of WITC will be one of the most
important decisions for the WITC Board of Trustees. We will be conducting a
national and confidential search process and your assistance, support, and
cooperation will be greatly appreciated. The Board and Screening Committee
will maintain confidentiality and we expect all candidates to also maintain
confidentiality.
At the public forums, we would
appreciate hearing your candid
thoughts and perceptions on the following:
1. The principle challenges and opportunities
that the College must address in the next five to ten years; and
2. The principle background and
experience, educational qualifications, and professional and personal characteristics
we should seek in a president to insure that we successfully meet those challenges and opportunities.
