Vetted Interim™
Vetted Solutions has long believed in the importance of Interim Leadership as a valuable option for building and developing high-performing organizations. That’s why we launched Vetted Interim™ in 2018 – to help associations and other nonprofit organization quickly identify mission critical talent during periods of leadership transition. We’ve cultivated access to highly experienced people capable of stepping in and actually leading, not just marking time.
We see effective interim executives as more than placeholders. The right leader will manage organizational expectations, reinforce stakeholder relationships, support the board of directors, and position the next leader for success. Vetted Solutions has helped numerous organizations identify and recruit exactly this kind of leader.
Interim leadership
Interim leadership may be the right solution for any leadership role – CEO, MarCom, Government Relations, Member Services, Events, or any of the leadership roles critical to an individual association or other purpose-driven organization. Vetted Interim™ has led the way in recruiting leaders who can have an immediate impact. We’ve learned what makes for the ideal leadership for each client’s unique situation and needs, and how an interim leader can contribute to reaching short and long-term goals.
Given the importance of getting Interim Leadership right, we partnered with the ASAE Research Foundation to produce a groundbreaking research study, The Role of the Interim CEO: Key Insights of Association Executive Transitions. Using in-depth case studies, this report explains the multifaceted role of interim executives, the attributes that successful interims share, and other keys to success.
