Pre-RFPProfessional ServicesDetected Jun 8, 2026

The Transportation Policy Board agenda includes Item 7 to authorize the TPB Chair to identify and retain a professional executive search firm to recruit candidates for CAMPO’s permanent Executive Director. This indicates CAMPO will be procuring specialized recruitment/HR consulting services to run a high‑profile regional transportation leadership search. No firm has been selected in the document, and the authorization is still up for discussion and possible action, so the scope, budget, and procurement method are likely still being shaped.For vendors providing executive search or public‑sector recruitment services, this is a near‑term opportunity to position capabilities around transportation, MPO governance, and regional planning leadership searches and to understand how CAMPO plans to structure and fund the engagement.

Search is specifically for a permanent Executive Director of CAMPO, following an interim appointment item on the same agenda.
