The Support Center maintains a diverse pool of talented Interim Executive Leaders (IELs) who have been vetted and trained in the roles and responsibilities of interim leadership. The majority of our IELs are former executive directors with extensive tenures. We can provide your organization with a highly qualified IEL who is prepared to effectively handle whatever special challenges your organization may face during its executive transition period. You can be sure that our IELs are well equipped to meet your temporary leadership needs.

When you choose to pursue an IEL Referral through the Support Center, we work with you to conduct a mini-assessment, evaluate your organization’s leadership needs, and determine the requisite skills and experience needed in your IEL. We then 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: 3-8 months, though the period may be slightly shorter or longer depending on the specific needs of your organization.

Typical IEL Schedule: 3 days per week, primarily handling administrative duties and thus allowing the staff the opportunity to step up, disengage their feelings from the previous director, and get ready for the new executive director.

Typical IEL Salary: Salary of the previous executive director, paid as an independent consultant.
