Proposal to FIU ITN56-001 December 2015 Page 3 of 102 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL December 15, 2015 Kelly Loll Director of Purchasing Purchasing Services Florida International University Modesto A. Maidique Campus 11200 SW 8th Street Campus Support Complex – CSC 411 Miami, FL 33199 Dear Ms. Loll and Members of the Purchasing Office Staff: Thank you for allowing Greenwood/Asher & Associates, Inc. (G/A&A) the opportunity to present a proposal to provide executive search services to Florida International University (FIU) for open positions in a Higher Education environment. We are a woman-owned firm with a diverse consulting team. We have extensive experience in executive search, consulting and training for university systems and campuses. In addition, we have a minority owned consulting firm as a partner. Dr. Betty Turner Asher, co-owner of G/A&A and partner, and I have facilitated more than 2000 searches since 1992. We have both served as tenured professors and presidents of universities. In addition to our corporate headquarters in Florida, our consultants are located strategically around the United States including California and Metro DC. Dr. Betty Asher and I, along with our consultants and affiliates, bring both an understanding and awareness of the needs of higher education and an ability to reach out nationally and internationally to identify appropriate candidates. Each of our consultants works on an average of three searches at a time. This workload allows quality service for our clients. Our references speak to our highly personalized services 24/7. As examples of quality results of our searches, we are proud to have recently provided to our clients placements that included four National Academy members (one at an AAU institution and three at non-AAU institutions). Included in these four National Academy placements were a renowned medical doctor and a female dean of engineering. It is very difficult to recruit National Academy Members for universities that are not AAU. We are proud of our repeat client rate of approximately 97% since 1992. Even in the difficult national recruitment climate, which higher education is experiencing due to matters relating to the economy and retirement of senior leaders, the majority of our searches are continuing to close on schedule with our clients getting the candidate of their choice. We have a deep understanding of higher education in Florida. Since 2001 we have partnered with ten different Florida public institutions for the successful completion of 51 searches, 27 of these with Florida International University. This includes presidents for the University of Florida (twice),
