Success

In a direct response to our members' requests for assistance when faced with the task of hiring a superintendent, the Association responded by initiating the NASB Superintendent Search Service in November 1982. The Association created a service grounded in the commitment to provide an efficient and effective search process to ensure the board's decision-making role in one of the two most important responsibilities of the Board of Education. For more than 31 years, staff has successfully completed in excess of 300 searches on behalf of Nebraska Boards of Education.
