Reference Check <br />Bennett Yarger Associates <br /> <br /> <br />Lawrence F. Davenport <br />Name: <br /> <br />Position: Interim President <br /> <br />Company: Paragon Foundation <br /> <br /> <br />1. Have you interfaced with Bennett Yarger Associates before? <br /> <br /> Yes. <br /> <br />2. What can you tell me about your experience with the firm? Who was <br />your contact? <br /> <br />Bob Neher was my contact. I was first contacted by Bob about a search <br />he was conducting for the University of California for the Vice Chancellor <br />position. After talking and meeting with him, I decided to become a <br />candidate, and also accepted the position he was representing through <br />the University. I found Bob to be a man of integrity, someone that was <br />forthright and serious on his intent in representing the University, and in <br />recruiting me as a candidate. I did not feel, as I have with some search <br />firms, that he was wasting my time, nor the time or resources of the <br />University. He represented the University accurately and positively, and <br />was also a good representative of his search firm. <br /> <br /> <br />3. What type of searches? Any City Manager or equivalent level <br />searches? <br /> <br />Vice Chancellor of University of California. I would say that yes, it’s <br />equivalent to the level of a city manager. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />4. How well did the firm work with members of the City or organization <br />during the process? <br /> <br />Bob (Neher) kept everyone informed throughout the process. <br /> <br /> <br />Can you give me some examples? <br /> <br />He was so informative about the University that even though I had other <br />offers pending, I accepted the position with the University of California. <br /> <br />
