What Clients Have Said
“The process of selecting a new CEO for a YMCA association is a daunting and nerve-racking process. This is particularly true when serving as the Chairman of the Board. Such was my experience earlier this year as I led a team of leaders through the selection process. Richard was a brilliant resource and a steading presence throughout the entire process. His knowledge, wisdom, insights, and patience made the process effective and rewarding. We couldn’t have found the ideal person for our organization without Richard’s help. I am forever grateful to Richard for his assistance. Richard proved himself to be a consummate professional and compassionate leader.”—Kendall, Board President
