VMI search committee releases eight‑candidate slate for first‑round superintendent interviews
Summary
The superintendent search committee reported it screened roughly 800 contacts and narrowed a pool of 27 candidates to eight finalists — five VMI graduates and three non‑graduates — who will be interviewed in July as the search advances.
The Virginia Military Institute superintendent search committee reported to the executive committee that it has narrowed the national search to eight candidates for first‑round interviews and will hold those interviews in July in the Dulles Airport area. Search consultants and committee members said the effort began in March, the firm retained was Buff and Baker, and a broadly distributed survey produced roughly 1,500 responses that helped shape the position description. Consultants told the committee they contacted about 800 potential prospects and referrals, screened 27 applicants and, in a meeting the day before the executive committee session, down‑selected to eight candidates who will be invited to the first round of interviews. The committee said the eight‑person slate includes five VMI graduates and three non‑graduates. Committee members said they will discuss additional details and next steps in closed session, and that the search committee is committed to a thorough evaluation process. Ending: The executive committee said it will review closed‑session materials and continue the search cadence as scheduled; search committee members reported the process is on a timeline to permit informed decision‑making and follow‑up interviews as needed.
