We partnered with Development Guild on our search for a Vice President and Chief Development Officer and a Senior Vice President and Chief External Affairs Officer. Their team was dedicated and communicative; they understood our organization’s direction – and the key role these positions would play. We made two great hires, who are both strong fits for their positions and Fountain House.

Because Development Guild counseled us on our $40M capital campaign, they knew us well and understood the kind of leader we needed in a Vice President for Institutional Advancement. The Development Guild team was fantastic; they always helped us anticipate new developments and kept us fully informed throughout the search. They were easy to work with and fit in beautifully with our team. They could not have done a better job!
