"We needed an experienced Interim Executive Director to ‘keep the trains running on time’ and provide an environment of calm, professional transitional management. That is exactly what we got. The transition from founder to new ED would not have been remotely as successful without utilizing Greenlights' consulting services."
- Jim Buck, 2011 Board Chair, Ascend Center for Learning (formerly The Austin Academy)

Since the inception of our Interim Executive Director program in 2008, our Interim EDs have provided approximately 5 years worth of IED service to the Central Texas nonprofit community. The former Executive Directors in our pool are well-equipped to guide an organization through a time of change, helping the board and staff lay the groundwork for success while a thoughtful and intentional search for a permanent Executive Director takes place.

Greenlights Interim Executive Directors are:

• Former Executive Directors who have also served as nonprofit board members and some as leaders in business as well
• Specifically trained by Greenlights in the specific skills needed to serve as an interim ED
• Able to provide a calming, stabilizing influence on your organization during an often complex time of transition
• Trained to provide the board an independent, objective evaluation of the strengths and challenges of the organization during their placement period
• Available to you as a cost-effective solution to your interim leadership needs, most often able to step into the interim role for less than your budgeted ED salary
