Alicia is highly skilled and qualified to provide interim leadership services. She is a member of Intentional Interim Executive Director Services and completed the Interim Executives Academy Program with Third Sector Company. Immediately stepping in to stabilize the organization, partner with the Board to establish a transition plan, provide support to staff, keep revenue streams on track, help determine the search profile for a new Executive Director, CEO or Director, and guide the onboarding of new leadership. When leadership change occurs, especially unexpectedly, an organization risks losing the confidence of its stakeholders, including funders, board, partners, the people served, and even the remaining staff. Immediately bringing in an experienced leader to keep the organization focused and on track demonstrates to the stakeholders that the organization has a strategy and is prepared for the change. With an interim leader in place, who is not interested in pursuing the position long-term, allows a more candid  perspective to be shared about what is needed in a future leader.  It also prevents the organization from needing to burden the current staff from having to try and do the job of two people when assigned as an interim.
