The Valtas Group
Valtas stands for a shift or pivot forward. Valtas Group helps nonprofit organizations navigate uncertainty in times of leadership change. Our work as Interim Executive Directors supports our clients during periods and gaps in leadership. We lead the search process in partnership with the board and staff leadership, as recruiting and search consultants. Valtas Group recognizes the privilege that the historically white-led sourcing and recruiting industry represents and the inherent systemic bias which prevents people of color and those with other diverse perspectives from participating in an equitable and inclusive process. We strive to deeply understand where each client is on the spectrum of social justice and equity; and adapt our processes to support and advance the client’s goals. Valtas Group has a variety of comprehensive resources to guide your transition needs. We partner with board members and senior nonprofit leaders on a variety of strategic consulting assignments.
