Presidential Search Committee
The national search for Salem Academy and College’s 23rd president will be led by the search firm Isaacson, Miller and Salem’s Presidential Search Committee. Salem selected Isaacson, Miller for its strong track record of successful presidential searches in higher education and private college preparatory high schools, and understanding of institutions with missions similar to Salem’s. Working with Isaacson, Miller is the Presidential Search Committee Co-Chaired by Board Chair Dr. John McConnell and Board Vice Chair Dr. Brandy Nelson, C’97.
The Presidential Search Committee is composed of members of the broader Salem community, including faculty, staff, students, trustees, and alumnae. The role of the Search Committee is to define the leadership qualities Salem is seeking in the next President, vet potential candidates brought forward in consultation with the national search firm Isaacson, Miller, and recommend 2-3 finalists to the Board for its due diligence and final appointment.
