Testimonials

Don't take our word for it. Here are some comments from people we've worked with:
Our interim ED provided needed leadership during a critical time of transition—leadership that the board and senior staff were unable to provide. The scope and deliverables were established in advance so real work was getting done. During this transition we adopted a strategic plan, met our budget goals in a tough economy, met program goals, and guided the organization through the transition to the new Executive Director. Having this skilled leadership enabled us to bring staff, Board, and stakeholders together during a time of transition to lay the foundation for us to continue our services to the community.

Paul was able to quickly win over the board and gain their confidence. He demonstrated an ability to quickly assess and prioritize the programs and the board’s immediate needs. He provided positive and thoughtful leadership and worked effectively with the board and program committees. Paul had a collaborative style that allowed the board and staff to feel included and valued. With input from the board he created a plan to stabilize services and funding while preparing the program for the new executive director. He worked closely on developing a plan to keep the program and services running. He brought us together to stabilize the program while continuing to provide the programs clinical and community services. Thanks to Paul, RVP was not only able to continue operation, but operations and output improved. With Paul’s guidance and wisdom we able to hire an outstanding executive director who was successfully transitioned and launched with the support and assistance of Paul.

Our experience with Page Two Partners was overwhelmingly positive. We hired you when we were facing a difficult transition. I can’t say enough about how both our interim and our search consultant worked out… under less than ideal circumstances. Ann, as interim held on to so many disparate threads and identified key parts of the organization that needed shoring up. She worked very hard bring us through this transition. Liz created a clear game plan for our search that emphasized fairness and kept us on track for an ambitious timeline that we set for ourselves. They were consummate professionals, and we are in a better, more exciting place moving forward.

I had the pleasure to work with an interim executive director for the past 5 months and would recommend him without reservation. We engaged him for a very unique set of circumstances and a non-traditional role at the Dental Foundation of Oregon. Despite many challenges, his thorough and collaborative approach to engaging stakeholders and providing key recommendations to leadership produced critical discussions and decisions at a key time for the organization. As a result, there was collective buy-in from the board and we are very happy to see the positive movement and momentum for the future, while ensuring all necessary operations and grants were covered during the transitional process. I greatly appreciated and valued having an interim ED as a thought partner, and his even keeled demeanor and approach to sensitive topics were extremely valuable to the organization(s) involved. I highly recommend his expertise and services, and hope to work with him again in the future if an opportunity presents itself.

From start to finish, Page Two Partners gave us exceptional service and exceeded our expectations. Our coordinator asked insightful questions about our needs and paired us with the ideal Interim ED. Our Interim ED not only supported staff, kept an eye on our financials, and expertly managed our organizational governance, but she recommended new practices to improve our organizations efficacy. We are indebted to Page Two for their excellent support and highly recommend them to other organizations.
