    Board Advisory: Strategic Solutions for Lasting Impact

    Our Board Advisory Practice supports nonprofit Boards in  assessing their organizations' principal leaders across compensation, performance management, and succession planning. Whether you wish to update your CEO's executive compensation bands, conduct or improve your CEO’s annual performance evaluation, or assess the growing or changing talent in your organization's senior leadership team, our integrated Board Advisory services will equip you to align your strategic Board decisions with due diligence, expert support, and evolving best practice.  In navigating these complexities, we help Boards uphold their core governance and fiduciary responsibilities, ensuring that organizational resources are deployed both prudently and competitively to drive the mission forward. The goal of this partnership is to provide sustainability, preparation, and accountability for Boards as they consider the strengths of their nonprofit leaders’ packages, skills, and teams. Ensuring continuity through transition, holding leaders accountable for delivering mission-driven results, and paying your leaders competitively and prudently will embolden your organization to thrive in these uncertain times.

    Bundle our Board Advisory services together as a package, or choose to customize your approach to align best with your organization's current needs. Partner with us to ensure that this essential governance work is handled with agile, cutting-edge expertise—allowing you to allocate your time and energy to other mission-critical decisions, while your executive leader is expertly supported to grow, perform, and persist.

     

    Executive Compensation

    Creating sustained impact starts with recruiting and retaining exceptional executive leaders. Edgility Talent’s Executive Compensation consultants partner with Nonprofit Boards and other key-decision makers to design agile,  customized executive compensation structures that align with their organization’s specific priorities. Through unbiased, third-party guidance, we leverage market data for competitive benchmarking, design short-term and long-term incentive plans, and ensure compliance with federal and state regulations, supporting Boards in meeting their fiduciary responsibilities. We align our recommendations with your values, helping to foster trust, increase transparency, and attract and retain the right leadership, all while providing a compensation range recommendation that is defensible to the IRS.

    Executive Performance Management

    Nonprofit leaders work tirelessly for their organizations and oversee a robust performance evaluation process for their staff, but it is essential that Boards hold their leaders accountable in the very same way. Edgility Talent Partners work in concert with Boards to provide agile, cutting-edge executive performance support. Our team is primed to help Boards with this important work in two ways: First, we can take the CEO evaluation off your plate by conducting it ourselves, keeping in mind that an unbiased, third party evaluation is best practice. With your partnership, we will assess your current approach and then design and implement an executive performance management system that celebrates your leaders' strengths, identifies areas of improvement, holds your leader accountable, and drives excellence in your organization. Second, we will help teach you best practices through trainings, tools, and templates so you can lead your own executive performance evaluations in the future.

    Executive SUCCESSION PLANNING

    Building a sustainable organization begins with a deep understanding of your internal talent and who is primed to step up and grow within the organization. Hiring Edgility to design an executive succession plan ensures that you will have an agile plan in place to set the organization up for success during a period of transition. Through a structured approach to assessing your current leaders and understanding both their strengths and current areas of improvement, our team will help you pinpoint your most critical roles (in addition to your executive leader) and identify the internal talent best poised for growth.  Partnering with the Board and your senior leaders, the Edgility Talent Partners team conducts a comprehensive assessment of how you are both prepared and underprepared to meet future moments of crisis, stress, and/or change. You will leave this engagement with a comprehensive plan that will address both unplanned and planned departures, allowing you to meet the moment with thoughtful knowledge transfer, mission alignment, and minimal disruption to operations.

    Danielle Pointdujour

    Human Resources Officer, Urgent Action Fund

    Our work often requires rapid responses due to the nature of helping activists who are at risk. We’re grateful to Edgility for helping us slow down and take a step back to assess the health of our organization from a salary, equity, and performance perspective. It’s important that we reward our employees for their brave work. We look forward to continuing to partner with Edgility to develop and improve our internal systems.

    Willa Marth

    Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England

    While Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) has worked to increase racial equity internally and externally, the racial reckoning of 2020 illuminated the need to ask ourselves what more we can do.  With Edgility's methodology, we had clear data points and recommendations to create a plan internally to address any wage gaps and further our commitment to racial equity.

    Erica Kashiri

    Chief Operating Officer, Third Plateau

     Marissa was easily one of the top 3 partners I have ever worked with my entire career. She knows her stuff, is thoughtful, holds the line when the line needs to be held, and kept us on a great timeline. She is able to break down complex information that was WELL received to a very skeptical team of using benchmarking data. Plus, she just came off as a generally good human which I deeply value these days.
