Fees

All fees are determined by the Executive Transition Management (ETM) Services Work Plan, which is a modifiable working agreement cooperatively developed by the Support Center and the client. The ETM Services Work Plan is modular and clients can engage the Support Center for either a portion or all of the proposed transition activities, although we do not do an Executive Search without an Organizational Assessment as preparation. Fees typically range from $25,000 to $45,000, depending on the specific needs of the client and the services requested. Please note that third-party search-related expenses such as paid advertising and candidate travel are not reflected in the estimate provided in the ETM Services Work Plan Proposal. Our comprehensive executive transition management service consists of four major phases:

Succession Planning with CEO and Key Staff
Cost: Typically ranges from $4,000-$8,000

Phase I - Organizational Assessment, Position Development and Community Engagement
Cost: Typically ranges from $6,000-$12,000

Phase II - Executive Search, Screening & Hire Assistance
Cost: Typically ranges from $6,000-$12,000

Phase III - Post-Hire Coaching / Assistance to Board and to Executive Director
Cost: Typically ranges from $4,000-$8,000

Comprehensively managing the Executive Transition:
Cost: Typically ranges from $25,000-$45,000

At the conclusion of the executive transition engagement, some clients request additional services to continue to build and strengthen their organization such as Board Development work and Long-Term Strategic Planning. Additional fees apply for these subsequent services.

Funding

The Support Center can assist you in securing funding to finance your executive transition. We could accompany you to meetings or participate in conference calls with your funders which you arrange. During such meeting or phone calls, we would present the benefits of ETM Services, which could lead to funding for your executive transition. Further, we can assist you in your preparation of a grant proposal requesting funds for these transition management services.
