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.
When our Executive Director unexpectedly announced she was stepping down there were many quick decisions to be made in order to continue business as usual. Once we met with Page Two Partners we had one less thing to worry about. I had no idea that you could hire an Interim Executive Director, but I’m glad you can. Our interim seamlessly stepped into the role and put us all at ease. He managed day to day tasks, identified strengths and weaknesses, and prepared us for a new ED. Being a new board chair, I honestly don’t know what I would have done if not for Danny and Page Two Partners. Tina Kimmey, Board Chair SE Uplift Neighborhood Program
Our interim Executive Director brought expertise and breadth of knowledge in nonprofit management. I knew I could count on this leader for day to day management of the organization and to bring attention to hot issues. This gave the board a ‘reality check’ to where the organization is and where we needed to go. By hiring an interim executive director, I was able to focus my energies on the work of the board and the eventual search for the next ED. And having this skilled leadership as a model, we learned what to look for in the next leader of our organization.
My ED Peer Support Coaching Group is the best professional development experience I enjoy. The insight from my colleagues is illuminating. It’s also great fun, and I value the time with people who truly get what it means to lead nonprofits today. They keep me sane!
