Leadership Development
The Hammond team has been on all sides of the leadership table.
Leadership & Board Training
Strategic Board Recruitment
Coaching
We've worked both sides - as consultants, fundraising executives and board members. Are you looking for leadership that will take your organization to the next level, or do you simply want to re-energize your Board? Do you need to strengthen your Board and Committees? Does your Board need to focus more on fundraising? Is your Board’s leadership faced with challenging goals and needs some coaching to achieve them?
We understand that every organization is unique with its own set of opportunities and challenges. We will tailor our leadership development solutions to meet your organization’s specific needs and set the course to a committed, highly functioning Board and executive team.
