Sectors

Leaders in the not-for-profit sector are called upon to make a difference. Associations, both professional and commercial, make up a significant portion of Canada’s non-profit sector. One of our key areas of focus is in the recruitment of senior leaders in the not-for-profit and broader public sectors – Canadian organizations and international groups that include industry, associations, registered charities, special interest, and common interest organizations.

Organizations that make a positive impact on society instead of a profitable bottom line are no less businesslike than any other type of business, corporation, or partnership. In fact, they share many similarities – but rather than providing returns to shareholders, they provide support to stakeholders. Another important difference is that these organizations often require different kinds of leadership, which in turn requires a different kind of executive search. It is an integral part of our culture to help communities in need. In a tough global environment, not-for-profit organizations need leaders to maximize revenue opportunities while carrying out cost-effective missions. The most successful leaders are visionaries who can deliver results to a different bottom line – saving lives, rebuilding communities, and delivering resources to those in need.

Our clients in health care delivery, social services, associations, universities, foundations, and arts and culture organizations value our passion, deep expertise, collaborative engagement, and rigorous approach to finding talented executives. With a constantly shifting environment, leaders are expected to create and maintain alignment and value with their stakeholders and constituencies who support unique, complex, and challenging mandates. We help them find these excellent people at the CEO, Executive Director and Director levels. We are also able to assist with Board of Directors recruitment.
