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
