August 11, 2026

Latham, NY - The New York State Council of School Superintendents' Executive Committee is working with the search consultant firm Hazard, Young & Attea Associates (HYA) to find the best candidate to serve as The Council's next Executive Director. The start date for this position will be in summer 2027. 

HYA is first looking for feedback on what our members believe a candidate should possess to lead this organization. Feedback is crucial, and they encourage you to respond thoughtfully to all questions in the ThoughtExchange. Before you begin, please understand that your responses will be shared exactly as you write them and your personal identity will be kept private and is never connected to your input.
