<p class="MsoNormal">Many, if not all of you, have been or will be members of a search committee. Being involved in the hiring of new colleagues and/or leaders is an important part of our day to day responsibilities—and definitely an area that we must strive
to do well! I am pleased to share that later this month, Dr. Ron Carter will be offering presentations on best practices for the search process in a two part workshop. For those of you who might not know Ron, I am including a brief bio attached to this email.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wondering who should attend these workshops, each 1.5 hours long? Great! This workshop is for any faculty member, instructor, adjunct and/or department head in the Division of Academic Affairs who is interested in learning more about the
search process. It will be especially useful for those of you who might chair a search committee and/or ever be a member of a search committee. You do not need to sign up ahead of time, but
<b>to attend Workshop II, you</b> <b>MUST complete Workshop I</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Workshop I: Elements of an External Search</b>,<b> </b>explores the key elements of a proactive national search process. Ron will facilitate a discussion on how to clarify organizational needs in terms of challenges and opportunities,
align stakeholders' expectations with a hiring official's and a search committee's human resource decisions, create and develop a strong slate of potential candidates, and evaluate candidates based on their measurable skills and behaviors that are critical
for success in the job.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Workshop II: The Elusive Notion of Fit in the Search Process</b>, aims to answer one of the most common questions asked in the search process, "What are we looking for in a high-quality candidate?" Ron will break down the selection
process of human resources decision-making into three main aspects: job analysis data, organizational analysis, and the elusive role of fit. He will explore both rational and political perspectives when it comes to selecting the right candidate for the job
and present a model that blends all three aspects into a dynamic process.<o:p></o:p></p>
