Fellow SSA Parents,
 
The SSA presidential search is in full swing, and next week, Tom Hudnut, Bob Henderson and John Farber of the national search firm Research Group 175 (RG175) will travel to Pittsburgh to visit our four campuses and personally meet with administrators, faculty, staff, parents and students.
 
The input of our parent community is an invaluable part of this search. During RG175's visit, parent information sessions will be held on each campus for you learn more about the search and share your input with RG175. We invite you to attend the session at your child's campus, or any other session that is convenient for you. No RSVP is necessary.

• Tuesday, April 10, 6:30-7:30 p.m. – Senior School, Hillman Center
• Wednesday, April 11, 8:15-9:10 a.m. – Middle School, Cafetorium
• Thursday, April 12, 8:30-9:10 a.m. – Junior School, Cafeteria
• Thursday, April 12, 8:30-9:10 a.m. – Country Day School, Conference Room

 
Whether or not you are able to attend a parent session next week, you will have the opportunity to provide your input through an anonymous electronic survey, which will be sent via email on Friday, April 13, and remain open until Monday, April 23.
 
We thank you in advance for your participation in the sessions and survey, which will enable us to refine what we want and need in our next president and to attract the best possible person to lead Shady Side Academy.
 
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. McDaniel '88
