Dialogue

Throughout my career, I've had an extensive professional association with two of the premier academic search organizations, Academic Search, Inc., and Hyatt Fennell Executive Search. Many personal and professional relationships, as well as assignments in consulting and publishing, have derived from working with these top firms. Yesterday, four of us who are longtime friends and professional colleagues visited in a social setting to reflect on industry trends through the years: Jay Lemons, President-elect of Academic Search, Inc.; Cheryl Hyatt, Partner, Hyatt Fennell Executive Search; and Marylouise "Weezie" Fennell, Partner, Hyatt Fennell Executive Search. I chair the Board of Academic Search and have published dozens of articles, monographs and books with Weezie, my co-author and fellow editor of many years.
