Resource Group One Seventy-Five
Consultants for Leadership and Governance in Education

“You were invaluable to Crystal Springs Uplands as we conducted a nationwide search for a successor to a long-standing Head of School. You are the first person I call when CSUS is in need of advice related to our transition in school leadership.”

– Search Committee Member and Chair of CSUS Board of Trustees

“In my opinion, RG175 is in a class by itself. At various times I have benefited from thoughtful advice, sound professional counsel and a superbly conducted search. I would unhesitatingly call on them again for future assistance at the school or Board level, and have recommended them to others with confidence.”

– A US School Director working overseas
