C of I Trustees forming Presidential Search Committee

The Board of Trustees of The College of Idaho is in the process of forming a search committee to find a new College president to replace President Bob Hoover who is retiring in June 2009. 

Trustee John McGee (‘95) has been named the chairman of the search committee. Membership on the committee will include representatives from The C of I faculty (3), students (2), staff (2), alumni (2), parent (1), administration (1) and trustees (4). There will also be one representative from the Caldwell community.  

Letters have been mailed to the leadership of these constituent groups asking them to select representatives for the committee.

The College will hire a national search firm to assist with the review of candidates. The Board of Trustees Governance Committee will meet next week to decide which firms should be invited to participate.

The search committee has been asked by the Board of Trustees to bring three finalists forward for review by a selection committee. The trustees hope to have a new president identified at the end of 2008.
