Yes. We are highly adept at assisting boards to find new board members and become more diverse and inclusive or continue to improve their board composition. This includes searches for board chairs, individual members and their selection (e.g. non-executive director, commissioner, trustee, president) as well as multiple or entire board recruitments for start-ups or transformation. Our team is continuously engaged in further learning and exchanges and are sought after speakers and trusted advisors from the grass-roots level to the halls of power.
