Hiring with a focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

As a board trustee at the Bertschi School, I am committed to supporting the school's mission and providing strategic oversight to ensure the school's success.

As co-chair of the hiring committee for the Head of the School, I worked closely with my co-chair and the board president to select other members of the hiring committee. Our duties included:

• Interviewing and selecting a search firm to assist in the hiring process

• Developing a detailed job specification for the Head of School position

• Interviewing and evaluating candidates, and bringing forward three final candidates for Q&A sessions with the school community and board interviews

• Conducting surveys to gather feedback and ultimately selecting the best candidate

• Onboarding the new Head of School.

We also played an important role in creating a communication schedule and materials for all stakeholders including board members, parents, faculty, and staff. to keep everyone informed during the search process
