“Todd and Drew Turner were an amazing asset to WCU as we searched for our next Athletic Director. From the first time we spoke through the press conference announcing our AD, both assisted our search committee in a timely manner in reviewing a large pool of qualified applicants, narrowing pool down for airport interviews, and then on to campus interviews, in a short time frame. I would not hesitate in recommending CSA or using them again.”
