"Educational institutions are facing a 'demographic time bomb' which could potentially leave them seriously short of qualified leaders within the next ten years. As babyboomers prepare for retirement, no system is immune, K12, Community Colleges and Universities alike face an impending leadership vacuum.

It is another challenge to find someone with a solid background in best teaching practices and the skills necessary to help struggling students achieve in the classroom. However, it is another thing entirely to find someone who has both the business and pedagogical background all in one package. These individuals are golden."
