Presidential Search Committee

The Board has appointed a Presidential Search Committee—composed of trustee, faculty, staff, and student representatives. The Committee is committed to conducting a thorough and inclusive process that listens to our community’s aspirations for a leader and identifies the strongest possible candidate to be F&M’s next president.

Led by Trustee Susan Kline Klehr ’73, P’12, the Committee will work with the external search firm to attract a diverse candidate pool, evaluate the candidates and recommend the most qualified candidate to the Board of Trustees.
