"Ainsworth Community Schools embarked on what I thought would be an arduous task of conducting a search for new leadership. Our current superintendent had served the district for 14 years, so only one of our board members had been part of a search before. To make it even more challenging, our board president would be retiring in the midst of the process and I would be acclimating to that role at the same time. Fortunately, we knew of our superintendent’s plans by September, so we selected NASB early in the process to help us identify and hire a successor. That decision certainly turned out to be as important as the final one, where we chose our new leadership."
- Jim Arens, Board of Education

"I am writing this letter to recommend that you consider NASB as your search firm, as you embark upon the difficult task of finding the superintendent that is right for your school district. When you hire NASB as your search firm, you don't just get Shari Becker, who is excellent at her job, you get everyone she works with. There has never been a time, I did not get a satisfactory answer to a question, though the answer doesn't always come directly from the person I asked. All the staff knows their team members strengths and use those strengths to best fit the needs of the district they are working with, in whatever capacity they are serving that district at the time. I have been through two superintendent searches now, both with NASB. Both searches have been as smooth and easy as I could have wanted them to be. Both searches ended with our district hiring well qualified, dedicated professionals that served/serve our district very well."
- Justin Ansley, President Board of Education

"Our school district had the opportunity to work with the Nebraska Association of School Boards (NASB) during our superintendent search. I am writing this letter in full support of NASB and the services they provided throughout this important process. From the very beginning, NASB was there to assist and educate us. As a board member who had never participated in a hiring search before, it was incredibly valuable to partner with an organization that brought such knowledge and experience. Their transparency, responsiveness, and willingness to answer any question—big or small—helped put our entire board at ease. NASB supported us every step of the way."
- Laura Robbins, Secretary Board of Education

"When you work with the Nebraska Association of School Boards (NASB), you get more than a Superintendent Search Service. You get a team of dedicated, quick to communicate, and very knowledgeable individuals…Because of NASB, our Board had a clear understanding of what was needed and how the search process would unfold. NASB was consistently responsive and always willing to adjust their approach to meet any evolving needs of the board. They were very professional with our District staff and administration and helped the Board navigate all the unknowns. Their guidance, organized and in-depth materials, and knowledge were extremely valuable and without doubt afforded our district a very positive experience going through the challenges of finding the right fit."
- Adam Wacker, President Board of Education
