Relationships

While we understand we have a client/provider relationship, we usually forget about it. The reason for this is that we care about you and become “your staff.” We want to work with organizations whose mission, vision, and goals become our goals. We want to work with organizations that are looking at this fit as a long-term commitment, one that we can build on within time and strengthen our relationship for success.

When BLF Management considers working with an organization, we try to get to know you and want you to get to know us. That way, you feel comfortable with decisions made and we understand and appreciate your organization from the start.

Upon this solid start, we can then work together for many years to come so that relationships with volunteers, members, and affiliated organizations can blossom and institutional memory can become an asset for everyone.

We are confident we can service your organization to your level of expectations. We have the people, resources and knowledge to do this. What we take a step further is our appreciation for the relationships that need to be developed to make this work for parties involved.

Contracting with an Interim Executive Director

Contracting with an Interim Executive Director (IED) is often critical to take advantage of the transition period in the absence of an executive director for your association. Contracting with an IED allows the board to assess the working and association environment, continue running the association with effective and efficient daily operations, and time to select the next “right” executive director.

In addition, by providing a day-to-day managerial leader while the search is proceeding, the IED can handle critical, sometimes time-sensitive issues and projects with professionalism and experience. This continued implementation and administration will pave the way for the new executive director to begin build the organization’s future rather than backtracking on old issues.

An IED brings objectivity and, as an experienced association executive, a fresh perspective and new ideas to the association. With your IED being comfortable multitasking in a fast-paced, competitive, ever-changing, entrepreneurial workplace, the IED will be able to balance a sometimes-hectic workload and understand deadlines and priorities.

The Interim Executive Director can -

BLF Management is prepared to help you fill the interim position on a short notice. With the fee for an IED derived from funds previously allocated for the executive director’s salary, this is an affordable necessary step.
