From the President

I started this business in 2000 because I believe in the power of nonprofits to change things for the better. I saw ways they could harness that power with greater effectiveness, through more efficient, strategic use of human resources.

Nonprofits need specialized expertise. The types of solutions used at multinational, for-profit corporations, for instance, can’t simply be imposed on mission-driven organizations. Instead, every day we craft practical solutions to overcome nonprofits’ challenges and bolster our client organizations’ strengths.

In gathering our growing group of experts over the years, I specifically sought out those with deep cross-disciplinary experience in human resources and in the nonprofit community. We work collaboratively, leveraging our strengths to get the best results for you. Our people are the greatest asset of our company—just as they are at your organization. I’m pleased to introduce them to you here.

Sincerely yours,

Lisa Brown Morton, SPHR
President and CEO
