Search Committee for the Chief Human Resources Officer
Northwestern University is conducting a search for its next Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). A search committee composed of faculty and staff has been formed to lead the search and has engaged WittKieffer to assist with the process.
Input from the Northwestern community will play an important role in identifying the University's next CHRO. Faculty, staff, students, and other members of the Northwestern community are invited to share input and nominations by emailing Northwestern-CHRO@WittKieffer.com. Additional opportunities for community engagement will be announced in the coming weeks.
