Welcoming Letter

Dear Non-profit Leader,

Did you know there’s a leadership crisis looming in the non-profit sector?

• That most executive directors of nonprofits in New England are older than 50?
• That 9 out of 10 nonprofits have no succession plans in place?
• That poor leadership transitions usually result in declines in productivity, decreases in funding, weakened staff morale, and resignations by board members and other staff?

That’s why the Executive Transitions Program exists!

Third Sector New England has an ongoing goal of building the power and effectiveness of non-profit organizations.

Our Executive Transitions Program (ETP) addresses one of the most critical periods in a nonprofit’s existence: when you are changing leadership.

Handled thoughtfully and professionally, a successful non-profit executive transition can move your organization forward dramatically. You can proceed with a renewed vision of where you’re going and how you will get there.

The professional staff and consultants of Third Sector New England’s Executive Transitions Program offer:

• A broad, deep search capacity that results in a successful hire
• A broad array of planning, coaching, mentoring and technical assistance
• Three-state coverage: Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island
• An experienced team of interim executive directors, if you need them

...and don’t hesitate to call.

We’ve designed our Executive Transitions Program webpages to answer most of the questions nonprofits have asked us over the past several years: 

1. How do we choose consultants?
2. How much will an executive search cost?
3. How long will the transition take?
4. What is ETP’s unique approach?

...and much more!

You may want to start with our Frequently Asked Questions. You’ll find contact information, recommended reading and consultant profiles. You can also sign up for our email alerts when new positions are open.

But the Executive Transitions Program is all about personal service. When you’re ready, call us. We’ll look forward to it!
