We build transformative teams and leaders in the nonprofit and public sectors.

Nonprofits and public sector entities provide critical services that strengthen society. To do so, they require strong leadership teams and a solid organizational infrastructure. Our work helps ensure that missions are fulfilled, visions are achieved, and our clients are able to do what they do best…go out and change the world.

We pride ourselves on delivering personalized, customized service to every client partner. Whether working with Boards, volunteer leaders or executives, we have helped hundreds of organizations across the country unlock their leadership’s potential.

Anyone can hire. Building a strong team takes diligence and focus. We give every search the dedication, discipline, and open communication it deserves, ultimately finding the very best candidate fit for your organization.

We work in partnership with our sister company KEES, a woman-owned and operated business, and our staff represents the best of the best in EXECUTIVE SEARCH, HR CONSULTING, and LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. To see a general overview of each service, check out our online brochure.

Each of our consultants has served as a nonprofit staff leader, board member or key volunteer. This experience, coupled with extensive training and years of consulting, gives Alford Executive Search and KEES the expertise and strategic ability to deliver our services to all segments of the nonprofit sector, from arts/culture, education, senior living/aging services and health care to community-based service agencies, associations and foundations. We understand the complex challenges facing your organization today.
