The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) selected North Carolina-based KL2 Connects LLC to lead the official search process for the agency’s next CEO.
KCATA issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to secure an executive search firm to assist in identifying a new CEO to lead the KCATA. Six proposals were received, and after a competitive evaluation, three firms were selected for interviews. After careful consideration, KL2 Connects LLC, was selected, agency officials said.
KL2 Connects serves the public transportation sector exclusively, bringing a deep understanding of industry challenges, emerging trends, and best practices, the firm said.
The KCATA board will remain actively engaged throughout the search process to ensure the selection of a highly qualified leader who will advance the agency’s commitment to serving the Kansas City region, the agency said.
“We look forward to working with KL2 Connects to conduct a thorough, transparent search,” said Board Chair Bridgette Williams. “The selected individual will be pivotal to building a strong regional transit system that serves both sides of the state line. The entire KCATA Board of Commissioners is committed to this process.”
