Thurgood Marshall College Fund relaunches TM² Executive Search

March 13, 2024

Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is relaunching TM² Executive Search (TM²), a strategic initiative to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Historically Black Community Colleges (HBCCs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) in attracting and retaining exceptional leadership talent.

“The relaunch of TM² is a significant step forward in the TMCF commitment to strengthen the leadership and operational excellence of HBCUs and PBIs across the nation,” Dr. Dakota Doman, executive director and managing principal of TM² Executive Search, said. “Traditional search firms may not fully grasp the nuances and richness of HBCU cultures, whereas TM² is a beacon of excellence, affordability and understanding.”     

TM² leverages the extensive TMCF network, expertise and deep understanding of HBCUs to ensure institutions have access to a diverse pool of highly qualified candidates for key positions within their institutions.

The initiative is part of the broader TMCF strategy to support the sustainability and growth of HBCUs. The insider perspective of TM² helps anticipate the needs and challenges of HBCUs while identifying and attracting leaders who are genuinely aligned with the mission, culture and aspirations of those storied institutions.   

“Through enhancing leadership capacity, we can contribute to the vitality, competitiveness and innovation of these vital institutions,” Doman said. “Competitive advantages TM² hold include cost-effective solutions, unmatched quality and expertise, tailored search strategies and a partnership model committed to transparency, collaboration and mutual respect.”   

TM² will also offer leadership assessment, board training and transition/succession plan services. 

“This firm is not only a participant in the search for excellence; we are pioneers, advocates and partners in an effort to elevate leadership at HBCUs, HBCCs and PBIs,” Doman said.
