Executive Searches Accomplished Virtually
The abrupt closure of businesses and cultural institutions due to the pandemic and the shut-down of travel left museums that were in the middle of an executive search process frozen in time. Unable to bring in candidates for in-person interviews, moving this process forward seemed to be an impossible task, and many institutions began to question what repercussions would surface should the search be postponed. Hear from our panelists on how to successfully bring an executive search to completion through a re-designed virtual process.
Featured Speakers:
Sarah Hall- Director, Washington County Museum of Fine Arts
Marilyn Hoffman- Senior Search Consultant, Museum Search & Reference
John Schnebly- Chair of the Search Committee, Washington County Museum of Fine Arts
