Interim Leadership.
When someone leaves their non-profit, most organizations either ask over-worked staff to take on extra work or let certain areas “slide” until there is a new person in hired. From notice of resignation to the new person's first day, it takes, on average, eight weeks to fill the position.
​
Senior positions take even longer, where stopgaps are not feasible and often detrimental to the organization.
​
As a specialist in Interim Leadership, I can keep the organization moving forward through these periods of transition. The primary goal of an interim leader is to provide the time and space to hire the right person.
​
I bring a wide skillset, knowledge, and expertise in the realm of nonprofit management. This allows me to jump-in immediately, requiring only a bare minimum of orientation to all the intricacies of the organization.
​
With 25 years of financial administration, 20 years of operations, a generalist certificate in HR, and a Certified Fund Raising Executive, I excel at serving as an Interim Finance Officer, Interim Operations and Interim Executive Director.
​
A Standard Engagement includes:
-
Assessing what coverage is needed
-
Obtaining access to software and files
-
Creating a transition work plan
-
Serving as Interim
-
Documenting the job description and procedures
-
Training the permanent hire
