Longy School of Music Board of Trustees Taps 11 To Search for the 10th Head of the School
Posted on: Wednesday, 20 December 2006, 12:01 CST
Eleven members of the Longy School of Music community, consisting of trustees, faculty, staff, and students, have been named by the school's Board of Trustees to the Presidential Search Committee.
The Board of Trustees, the institution's governing body, is responsible for the composition of the committee, the appointment of its members, and the final selection of a successor president.
The current interim president, Anna Kuwabara, will serve until the new president assumes office at a date to be determined in 2007. Kuwabara became interim president on June 16, 2006, when Dr. Kwang-Wu Kim stepped down as Longy's president to become dean of the Herberger College of Fine Arts at Arizona State University at Tempe. During her tenure, Ms. Kuwabara has directed Longy's administration, finance, and general operations. She has overseen several key projects, most recently the renovation of the historic Rey-Waldstein building, as well as the school's strategic planning processes.
"Longy has become a stronger and better place under Anna Kuwabara's leadership," said Bonny Boatman, chair of the Board of Trustees and chair of the search committee. "She has had a significant impact on the institution during this transitional period. Our next president will build on these achievements to take the school to a new level of excellence."
The search committee has selected the international executive search firm of Isaacson, Miller to assist the search committee and the Longy community in all aspects of the search -- from creating a job description to identifying and interviewing candidates for the position.
Other members of the search committee include:
Frederick C. Cabot, trustee
Stephen R. Dooley, trustee
Tim Dusenbury, student
David Halpert, trustee
Robert Honeysucker, faculty
Robert Khederian, trustee
Anna Kuwabara, interim president
Janet Packer, faculty
Myran Parker-Brass, faculty
Jeanette H. Taylor, trustee
