The Opportunity
The founder of the organization had decided to retire and the leadership launched a search for a new leader that would increase the visibility and impact in the community, expand support for artists and art education, and enhance St. Petersburg as a diverse destination for arts and culture.
How Catalyst Facilitated Change
We were able to collaborate with the board on how to successfully transition out and in a new leader while conducting a statewide search for a leader who embodied the skillset to implement an ambitious cultural plan.
The Outcome
We were able to complete the search in two and a half months while ensuring a smooth transition of responsibilities, stabilization of valued relationships, and place a high quality leader who has exceeded their goals in the first year.
