Interim Executive Leader Referrals
The Support Center maintains a diverse pool of talented Interim Executive Leaders (IEL),
the majority of whom are former executive directors with extensive tenures.
We refer highly qualified candidates who have been trained in the roles and responsibilities
of interim leadership.
They are prepared to effectively handle whatever special challenges your agency may face
during its executive transition period.
How it Works:
When your organization chooses to pursue an IEL Referral through the Support
Center, we work with you to:
- Conduct a mini-assessment
- Evaluate your organization's leadership needs
- Determine the requisite skills and experience needed in your interim leader
We provide you with resumes of several qualified candidates from our talent pool and
coach your organization through the selection process.
Once your organization has selected an interim leader we remain in contact with you and
with the IEL to ensure that your organization is completely satisfied.
Typical IEL Tenure:
- 6-12 months (average)
- The period may be slightly shorter or longer depending on the specific needs of action
Typical IEL Schedule:
- 3 days per week
- Primarily handling administrative duties
- Allowing the staff to step up as leaders and get ready for the new executive director
Typical IEL Salary:
- Salary of the previous executive director
- Paid as an independent consultant
