OUR EXECUTIVE SEARCH APPROACH

As a comprehensive consulting and professional services firm, K&A believes that the most successful searches are based on a solid understanding and appreciation of institutional priorities and goals—only that deep understanding can produce the best outcomes.

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSE CANDIDATE SOURCING

We understand the critical role a diverse staff, especially among senior leadership, plays in student success both in and out of the classroom. Increasing leadership opportunities for all qualified individuals is at the core of our philosophy and central to the ethics of our consulting practice.

INTERIM PLACEMENT SERVICES UPDATE

After 10 wonderful years and successful placements in a wide variety of institutions throughout the United States, NASPA and Keeling & Associates, LLC have discontinued operations of the Interim Executive Placement program as of December 15, 2022. As one of the many endeavors each organization leads, we are proud of the service we provided to our colleagues in their time of need.

Thank you to both the institutions who participated in the program and to the valued colleagues who served the profession in these integral transitional roles

K&A works with a wide range of public and private institutions and conducts full executive searches and searches for distinctive short-term appointments.
