Case Study: Michigan Library Association selects a new Executive Director with Organizational Architecture

Michigan Library Association appoints new Executive Director in months with Organizational Architecture

The Michigan Library Association (MLA) faced the challenge of finding a new Executive Director to lead the organization through a period of strategic growth and transition. They partnered with the vendor Organizational Architecture for its executive search service to identify a leader with a nuanced understanding of the library sector.

Organizational Architecture conducted a comprehensive national search, providing a transparent and rigorous process that included stakeholder consultation and structured interviews. As a result, the MLA Board unanimously selected Dillon Geshel as the new Executive Director. His proven leadership and clear vision for advancing advocacy and member engagement made him the ideal candidate. The successful placement demonstrates Organizational Architecture's effective approach to executive recruitment.
