ABOUT BRIGHAM HILL CONSULTANCY Brigham Hill Consultancy is a retained executive search firm that conducts in C-level searches for not-for-profit organizations. The firm seeks chief executive officers/heads, directors of development, chief financial officers, and other senior administrators of independent schools, cultural institutions such as museums and operas, foundations, and human service agencies. In particular, Brigham Hill’s consultants have conducted almost 70 head of school searches and nearly 90 searches for other senior administrators for independent schools across the country. Founded in 1996, Brigham Hill follows the protocol developed almost 100 years ago in what is now known as the executive search industry, combining the disciplined, information-based, and strategic approach of the for-profit search world with the values and governance systems of not- for-profit organizations. That is, while financial management is always important, the ultimate goal of the institution is the delivery of its mission, and the governance structure of most not-for- profits typically requires working with a range of stakeholders rather than a sole individual. In this way, the value system and aspirations of the organization can be furthered through a rigorous and exhaustive process that results in clarity and resolution about the organization’s leadership needs and the appointment of a new person to execute its mission. ABOUT THE CONSULTANTS Linc Eldredge, President and Founder of Brigham Hill Consultancy, will serve as the lead consultant. A native of the Boston area, Mr. Eldredge founded the firm nearly 19 years ago following a successful, 20-year career in the for-profit search industry with Heidrick & Struggles, Ward Howell International, and LAI Worldwide.
