What Happens Now?

The blog went silent.

It went silent because, well, we've got a new Head of School, and so, the search for the Next Great Leader of Kadima Hebrew Academy is over.

We're all very excited that Bill Cohen will be serving as our new leader. In recent discussions we've had, Bill has confirmed our sense of him: he will be a strong, effective, capable, and wise leader for Kadima, who will shepherd the school to even greater levels of success.

During the next several months, before he starts in July, the school administration and lay leadership will be working with Bill to ease his transition to the Kadima community so when he officially starts his new job in July, 2009, he'll hit the ground running. Brett Grauman, our capable Treasurer, will be serving as the Transition Coordinator; he'll be overseeing the transition process during the next several weeks. I'll still be involved in an advisory role, too.

This whole process was intensely educational, and we were extremely lucky to have a Search Committee that was dedicated and effective in finding Bill Cohen and bringing him to lead Kadima.

Now the future begins.
