Transitioning to a new Executive Director

Is especially challenging when the departing executive is the founder who dedicated over 16 years to the organization.

Abraham House, a South Bronx based nonprofit serving individuals and families affected by incarceration, knew that it had challenges to surmount in making this transition.

So, Chairman Bob Murphy called the Support Center to inquire about our Executive Search & Transition Management Services.

It didn't take long for Abraham House's Board of Directors to see the merits of this approach to executive transition. Within a few weeks, the Support Center referred Gilles Mesrobian, a senior associate at the Support Center, successfully led Abraham House through its transition period.

In the words of the Board Chair, Robert Murphy, Senior Vice President, ABC News: "The process educated the entire organization in ways and over a period of time that made it quite powerful. I'm convinced that had we gone immediately to a search and picked a permanent director, we would not have been as successful.Our organization was not in a position to accept the changes a new leader would bring."
