We're recruiting for a talented individual prepared to lead the America's VetDogs Service Dog program. The Program serves United States veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders with disabilities, allowing them to once again live with pride and self-reliance. Contact us for details.

We are now working with the Board of the Greater Clark Foundation (Winchester, KY) recruit a new CEO. GCF is a grant making hospital conversion foundation that invests in strengthening underlying community conditions and social determinants of health.

Our team led this search for GCF in 2012 for its inaugural CEO and we are excited to help the Board find the next leader to help guide the foundation to the next stage of growth. Please contact us if you would like to be considered for this role.
