Our Page Two Partners coach has been such an asset to me and to our nonprofit organization. As an executive director, it is an incredible resource to be able to bounce ideas off of her and get her feedback and insight, and to also have her ask the right questions for me to gain clarity on my vision and implementation strategies. She has helped our board gain confidence in their roles as ambassadors, and continues to empower me to lead a growing and evolving organization with equal attention to short-term and long-term goals.

Please consider this a glowing recommendation of the Executive Director search services provided by Jani Iverson and Page Two Partners from a candidate’s perspective. From the outset of the process as a candidate, which started with the Executive Director job announcement, I was impressed by how thoughtfully the values of the organization were articulated and linked to the attributes sought in the next leader. I can enthusiastically recommend Jani and Page Two Partners, and would not hesitate to work with them on executive search or other nonprofit support services.

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.

I have served on a myriad of non-profit boards of directors and found the insight and the assistance that our interim brought to our organization was invaluable. In each and every instance, our interim Executive Director acted with competence, integrity and professionalism. The insight brought to us was based on vast experience provided a resource that our organization was lacking during our time of transition between executive directors as well as expanding the scope of our service coverage. What impressed me most was the willingness to hit the ground running despite lack of experience with our specific mission area. He proved to be a quick learner and easily adapted what he had learned from his other experiences with non-profit organizations to apply to a business-oriented non-profit organization. The achievements in meeting its goals in that fiscal year are due in large part from the efforts of our interim leader. I would strongly encourage utilizing this service again in the future.

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.
