board placement
Helping broaden and diversify the expertise, perspective and background represented on your board.
We find ourselves at a societal inflection point, where nonprofits and businesses are equally challenged by significant social, economic, environmental and health issues that impact us all. Solutions to these emerging 21st century concerns demand the bold leadership amassed from the collective wisdom of diverse perspectives.
We strongly believe in honesty and transparency when it comes to mission, vision, and the bottom line. You can find an often cited Deloitte article HERE which marshall’s the argument and cites the data making the case why board diversity is essential for good business.

we offer:
|
strong female, BIPOC, and underrepresented candidate poolYou recognize that diversity in and of itself accomplishes nothing without the commitment that a new board member seated at the table will be valued by his or her fellow board members for that individual’s expertise and lived experience.
|
|
experience with nonprofit, startup and corporate boardsWith over 25+ years of experience on most every type of board, olive hill offers the unique experience of placements and participation in boards of all shapes and sizes. We also have partners we work with on publicly traded boards.
|
|
diversity, equity, and inclusion assessmentWe recognize that some boards and organizations have identified a need to invite new faces in, but aren't quite ready for it. Sometimes more homework needs to be completed within to assure the environment is truly welcoming before inviting new members into the fold.
DEI is not a one size fits all proposition. We can help with an initial assessment that will identify where you are in the process and if appropriate, connect you with the right partner to develop a more comprehensive DEI training, and implementation plan at the board level. |

"Robin was a tremendous asset to me as I sought to identify and recruit awesome qualified and diverse candidates to serve on the nonprofit board of directors on which I sit. Through her work we brought a terrific new board member who has broadened the perspective of the board and has been a real asset. Thanks Robin!"
