Bobbi C. Peckham
Bobbi Peckham is one of the West Coast’s leading local government recruiters and has 28 years of experience in local government and executive recruitment. Ms. Peckham began her career in the public sector in Naperville, Illinois, where she became familiar with all aspects of local government. Ms. Peckham was then recruited to join the Executive Search practice of a leading California recruitment firm. Later, she played an integral role in creating a national search business for what became the largest recruitment practice serving local government in the country. Here, she became Regional Director overseeing Northern California and a nine-state region.
In 2001, Ms. Peckham was invited to implement a public sector search practice for a Sacramento-based, private sector firm. As a result of her success in this implementation, she then chose to leave in June 2004 in order to form Peckham & McKenney in partnership with Phil McKenney. Ms. Peckham has personally conducted hundreds of national searches throughout the Western United States. She has extensive experience working with City Councils, Executive Boards, and local government administrators, listening to and understanding their needs in executive level placements.
Ms. Peckham received a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Behavior from the University of San Francisco. She is a contributing member of the International City/County Management Association, CAL-ICMA, International Public Management Association, Municipal Management Association of Southern California, Professional Businesswomen of California, Municipal Management Association of Northern California, and Women Leading Government.
Ms. Peckham was appointed to ICMA’s National Job Hunting Task Force and serves on Cal-ICMA’s Committee on Preparing the Next Generation.
Our Philosophy
When we chose to form our own executive search firm, we did so with the goal of providing both clients and candidates unparalleled service.
We achieve this goal by limiting the number of searches we take on at any one point in time, thereby focusing more directly on those we serve. In this way, no client or candidate should ever feel “lost in the shuffle.”
Not only do we take great care of our clients and candidates, but we are very actively involved in efforts to prepare the next generation of local government managers. Our commitment to the industry is genuine, and we look forward to many years of service.

1 comment:
The information from the City of Belmont's search is very interesting. $22,500 for executive search professional services for a city manager with a 93% success rate and a 14-week process from start to hire is a good investment in getting as good a city administrator as a city can get. What a shame the mayor and 2000 council did not spend this small amount of money then to find anyone other than Rich Guillen. $22,500 is certainly a better deal than $600,000 from the insurance company and $100,000 in severance and $2 million in salary/benefits from 2000-2011 for a submissive and incompetent and unqualified city administrator.
