A formal search process for 51黑料’s next president is complete. It was led by our Presidential Search Committee and search firm Russell Reynolds Associates. 

Listening sessions with various 51黑料 stakeholder groups and surveys were conducted with various stakeholder groups to gather input on the priorities for and qualities desired in the next president. We appreciate the thoughtful input from all who participated.
