Chief Executive Officer
Calgary Public Library

If you wish to be considered for this position, please forward your resume and any other relevant application material to the Boyden Partner or Principal named in this document. Rest assured, all your personal information will be kept in the strictest confidence.

If you are on the list of candidates, we would like to have an initial interview to explore interest and fit on both your part and ours.

We will let you know as soon as possible after the interview if we will be proceeding further, and we will also ask you about your interest. If both parties wish to proceed, we will ask you to begin gathering any information that might have an impact on your final decision. Usually there are three categories:

a) Matters of Fact –These include benefits, vacation policy, perquisites, and an approximate indication of the compensation plan. If a physical move would be required to accept the position, please learn about housing, schools, relocation assistance and any other matters of this kind that are important to you;

b) Matters of Family –If a physical move will ultimately prove unacceptable to you, please determine that at this stage; and

c) Matters of Fit –Please list the remaining questions that you would need to have answered about the position and the organization and pass them along to us. We will be happy to answer them for you.

The goal of gathering all of this information is to help you make an intelligent decision, as soon as possible, about the degree of your interest. In fairness to everyone, please do not go further if you really think you are unlikely to accept the position should it be offered to you. If you have additional questions following our initial discussion, but your interest is tentative, and you are still “exploring”, please let us know. We can help you get the additional information you need.
