Pittsburgh, PA, March 11, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Cheryl Hyatt, Partner, Hyatt-Fennell Executive Search and Jennifer Muller, Vice President – Sales & Marketing, Academic Keys are partnering to deliver a presentation at the American Council on Education’s (ACE) 97th Annual Meeting. The meeting will be held March 14 -17, 2015 at the Washington Hilton, Washington DC.

Cheryl and Jennifer will be presenting on the focus topic: What every University president should know before, during and after the search process. Their presentation is scheduled for Sunday, March 15th at 4:15 PM and is open to all attendees.

According to studies done by ACE, from 2007 – 2011, nearly 80% of presidential searches were conducted by executive search firms with 61% of presidents getting written contracts. The majority of presidents sought counsel citing colleagues or family as their advisers. Nearly 30% sought no advice. This presentation will highlight the benefits and value of using the right search firm to assist you in the process.

These are the expected outcomes:
· Educating prospective presidents on what to expect throughout a search process.
o What is the best way to interact with a search firm?

How to get the most out of a search firm.
How to use a search firm to your advantage.
How you can help the search firm help you.

· The importance of advisers. What qualifies someone to be an adviser? How many advisers you should have and why.
· The questions you should ask the institution so you do not experience any surprises once you start in your new role.
o What you asked.
o What you wish you asked.
-What you thought you needed to know vs. what you really needed to know.
