• Review of prototypical search process and determine if any changes or revisions are needed;
• Development of community engagement strategy and plans, including the use of focus groups and online survey;
• Development of protocols related to the search, including decisions about open or closed search and interview protocols;
• Development of the Leadership Profile Report and drafting of desired candidate characteristics;
• Key decisions about application and interview processes and protocols, residency expectations, and compensation package for the successful candidate.
