The committee membership will be finalized and the official search launches in the first week of January 2015. Interested applicants for the Executive Director position should forward their resumes directly to gretchen.strouphar@kellyservices.com for consideration.
“Because the Executive Director role is critical to the operation of our organization, we plan to do our due diligence in order to find top talent regardless of the length of time it takes,” said Strouphar.
