“Just a note to say how thankful I am that the  Search Committee decided to use Michael Shirley Associates, Inc.  for our EVP search.  Being local to us along with your national reach helped us find the correct candidate for the EVP position.  Your firm excelled at all phases of the search and made it look easy to those watching from the outside.  Your polished professionalism combined with absolute congruency gave us the confidence to place this difficult search to replace an industry icon in your capable hands.  Our faith and confidence was rewarded in the selection of our new EVP.  We could not have accomplished our goal without your firm's unique insight and remarkable understanding of the EVP position.  To say the least, we are thrilled to have had you and Michael working so hard on our behalf.  Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance to your firm going forward.  It would be my distinct pleasure to contribute to your success.”
