I launched Nielsen Training and Consulting with a mission to help nonprofit leaders translate their vision into reality. I take great pride in the fact that my clients’ success is changing the world for the better.

We know, though, that success requires plans for sustainability, and nowhere is that more challenging for nonprofits than the area of leadership transition:

• Nonprofit CEO turnover sits at an all-time high - with some estimates as high as 18-22% annually

• According to BoardSource, only 27% of nonprofits have a written succession plan in place

These data points concern me, and with that in mind, Nielsen Training & Consulting can now offer resources crucial to your ability to sustain the community impact you have worked so hard to achieve. I am pleased to announce an affiliation with Dennis C. Miller & Associates. Dennis is a highly respected national leader, colleague, and trusted friend of mine whose firm specializes in executive leadership search projects representing a wide variety of nonprofit sectors, including behavioral healthcare, developmental disabilities, children and family social services, foundations, business and professional trade associations, faith-based institutions and other community building organizations. The firm has a well-established search process designed to exceed clients’ expectations with high qualified candidates and a smooth transition process. Dennis’ extensive experience and reputation as a successful chief executive officer, board chair, foundation president and leadership coach in the nonprofit sector enables him to bring a unique perspective to his client’s executive search needs. Dennis is the author of A Guide to Recruiting Your Next CEO: The Executive Search Handbook for Nonprofit Boards and his search services include his signature interview matrices and evaluation tools, as well as TalassureMX leadership assessments. Through this affiliation with Dennis and his executive recruitment team, together we can address your leadership succession and executive recruitment needs.
