18 May Telluride Foundation: Search for New CEO Laumched!

The Board of Directors of the Telluride Foundation is pleased to announce that the search to hire the next CEO is officially under way.

The Telluride Foundation’s Board of Directors CEO Search Committee – Dan Tishman, Anne Andrew, Ximena Rebolledo León, Mark Dalton, and Jesse Johnson – in partnership with search firm Koya Partners, recently completed an extensive due diligence process that allowed for broad and inclusive input from community members, donors, nonprofits and other important stakeholders.

“This first phase of our search was critically important,” said Anne Andrew, Search Committee Chair. “The opportunity to speak with a wide range of community members about the role they see the Telluride Foundation playing in our community for the next 20 years was invaluable.” 

This community input process helped to inform a Candidate Profile, which fully describes the position and ideal candidate.

Now that the Candidate Profile is complete, Koya Partners will begin efforts to promote the position and to recruit and consider qualified candidates. Throughout the process, Koya will work closely with the Board’s Search Committee as they move forward in interviewing and selecting the next CEO. According to Kara Teising, Managing Partner at Koya Partners: “The next phase of this executive search is to convey the news that this unique opportunity to lead the Telluride Foundation into the future is open, and we are seeking qualified candidates.” 

Anyone interested in learning more about the position should review the Candidate Profile posted here.
