We are delighted with the results…

“It has been a pleasure working with Christine. As a professional Interim Executive Director, I often lead the search project for my clients. At The Mockingbird Society, they complemented our work at a fraction of the cost of most search firms. We were able to expand our candidate pool and conduct phone screenings. Without the additional outreach, it was unlikely we would have engaged our successful candidate. We appreciated the highly skilled and professional service that focused on recruitment which kept the process moving better and faster than I would have otherwise. We are delighted with the results of our search.”

Thank you so much for all you did…

“Linda’s assessment and breakdown of our organization was spot on and complete. Her final assessment and recommendations for us after she cleaned up our files and filtered out the important information, was fantastic. She managed the day to day activities and operations of our facility and took care of our staff. And most importantly, she helped us with the exit of our former E.D. all while driving the process to finding our new “wonderful” Executive Director. In a very short period of time, our organization has already grown, added new board members and has a ‘skip in our step’ which we have not had for years! Linda Huse from Valtas Group was a HUGE part of that! Thank You so much for all you did to help me get Pushing Boundaries started in a new direction.”

I have been nothing but impressed…

“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Valtas Group and particularly Laura Skelton. Since our very first meeting, I have been nothing but impressed. I honestly believe that OPS would not have made it through this tough transitional time without her steadfast support and diligent work. Laura has been flexible, reliable, open minded and incredibly efficient each and every week. Her productivity in such a short window of time has blown our staff and board away. She’s been honest, and kind, and taken on the spirit of the mission in an authentic way that allowed her to connect with a staff that otherwise may not accept an outsider as easily. She’s been invaluable to the Board. I will miss working with her and have learned a lot from how seamlessly she’s shown up as a professional and personable consultant. The work at OPS is challenging, sometimes chaotic, and she’s taken it all in stride and accomplished a great deal. I recommended and value Valtas Group as resource.”
