ABOUT THE FIRM

"Providing the highest quality candidates to meet the needs of your district"

Leadership Associates, as California’s premier executive search firm, has assisted school boards in their selection of superintendents in over 190 California school districts and organizations since 1996. We have also assisted other educational organizations in the selection of their executive leaders.

Selecting your new superintendent, your CEO, is the most important decision you will make. Our firm has the experience and expertise to help you make the right decision for your students, district and community.

The process we use produces consistently positive outcomes for the Board, staff and community. The districts and organizations we have served range from small elementary to large unified districts and other educational and non-profit organizations.

We are proud of the fact that school boards are highly satisfied with our assistance in finding quality candidates from which to select. We work for the Board of Trustees. The Board is in charge of the process and the selection. The search process is an opportunity for the Board to solidify their own teamwork and set the direction for the future.

Boards of Trustees select our firm for many reasons, including our record of success, our experience & skill, our network, and our integrity.
