Organization Overview
Founded in 2000, The Boland Group, dba Mission Driven Search is a boutique firm that specializes in conducting CEO searches for nonprofit boards. The firm averages five C-suite searches a year, including five in SC since 2021: CEO for the SC Community Loan Fund (SCCLF) in Columbia, President for SCCLF in Greenville and SCCLF CFO in Charleston; Executive Director for LISC Upstate SC, and the head of Planning for the City of Spartanburg.
Mission Driven Search differentiates itself by its:
* consultative approach - CEO is former big four Management Consulting Partner; for every hour the Board spends with a finalist, we will have invested three to five
* skill in making highest and best use of the time and talent of all volunteer governing boards; we shepherd search committees through the process
* track record of success recruiting CEOs who reflect the community served - of our last 15 CEO searches, eight were BIPOC, seven were female; 100% reflected the community served and were unanimously elected by the board
