Development Guild’s team were wonderful listeners and truly respected our school’s history, mission and culture. They kept the pace moving throughout the search process, but they never rushed a decision. Additionally, the candidate pool presented to us was impressive and diverse. We were able to hire someone who fit the exact profile for which we had been searching. Additionally, Development Guild provided invaluable on-site interim fundraising counsel throughout the search. In sum, they were excellent partners from beginning to end.
