Search for CEO Successor Underway

Posted on September 30, 2021 by LeadingAge

The LeadingAge Minnesota Board of Directors approved an executive position profile at its meeting last week, and the search for a new President and CEO of LeadingAge Minnesota has commenced.

Ballinger Leafblad, an executive search firm based in Minneapolis, has been selected by the LeadingAge Minnesota Board of Directors to lead the search. The firm has posted the position on various websites and widely promoted the opportunity on social media. They will also make direct calls to potential targeted candidates and source contacts to discuss this opportunity with them.

The search is on target in terms of the year-end timeline laid out by the Board and Search Committee, with the current phase of the process focused on creating a pool of interested candidates who meet the profile description. It is anticipated that preliminary interviews will begin in late October.

The Search Committee, led by Board Chair Erin Hilligan, will provide updates via Advantage to keep you informed throughout the process. If you have any questions or suggestions, the Search Committee encourages you to reach out to Marcia Ballinger and Lars Leafblad, the principals at Ballinger Leafblad, to provide your input.
