Fort Lewis College Presidential Search: Community Engagement Opportunities

The Fort Lewis College Presidential Search Committee is embarking on the important task of identifying candidates. As part of this process, we invite all members of the FLC community, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and external partners, to participate in our upcoming community engagement meetings in September.

These meetings are designed to gather input on the qualities and priorities that our next president should embody. Your insights will play a crucial role in shaping the presidential leadership profile, which will guide the selection process. 

Ann Yates and Pelema Ellis from Buffkin/Baker, a leading executive search firm specializing in higher education, will guide these meetings.

We recognize the importance of inclusive governance and are committed to ensuring that voices from across our community are heard. If you are unable to attend in person, virtual participation options will be available. Additionally, you can share your thoughts directly with the Presidential Search Committee representatives or fill out a survey on the website.

Please visit the Fort Lewis College Presidential Search webpage for more information on the meeting schedule and ongoing updates about the search process.

Your participation is vital as we seek the best leader for the future of Fort Lewis College.

To submit a candidate nomination, please email Buffkin/Baker
