Stronger did not waste my or my colleagues' time. They helped us find a high-quality Executive Director to fill a role with immediate need and impact.
Democracy Prep at the Agassi Campus (DPAC), a K-12 public charter school in Historic West Las Vegas, needed to hire a new Executive Director on a very short timeline. The organization's sitting leader had decided not to participate in an open search, and the board did not have the internal capacity to run a comprehensive search itself.
The timing raised the stakes. DPAC had just transitioned to becoming an independent state charter, so having the right leader in place was critical. Hiring the wrong Executive Director, or leaving the position vacant for too long, would have slowed momentum and created uncertainty for the organization and the board.
The need surfaced quickly once the sitting Executive Director chose not to pursue the role, and there was no time for a lengthy search process.
As a newly independent state charter, DPAC needed a leader who could guide the organization through the transition without creating unnecessary disruption.
The board did not have the time or capacity to manage the process, so running the search internally was never a realistic option.
DPAC brought Stronger in right away to keep the leadership transition moving without delay, with a process built for urgency from the start.
Stronger led a comprehensive Executive Director search, managing the process from screening through board interviews.
Multiple interview stages gave the board increasing confidence in the candidates, while scoring rubrics and candidate summaries made it easier for the board to make informed decisions without everyone comparing resumes on their own.
The chosen candidate accepted the position and onboarded within about a week of the final interview, starting June 1.
