MUNCIE, Ind. (WOWO): Finding a replacement for outgoing President Jo Ann Gora won’t be quick, and it won’t be cheap.

The school’s board of trustees has approved $150,000 deal with a national search firm.  Baker and Associates is the same company that found Gora. In October she announced she was retiring in June. The search committee will have its first meeting in January.

The board is said to be looking for someone to build on Gora’s success and keep the school’s momentum going.
