Honored By The Communities We Serve
...approachable and trustworthy
“Tacoma Community House has course corrected and grown exponentially in the last year due to our partnership with Valtas in selecting the right leader for our organization and local community. I cannot think of a better fit and appreciate Amy’s leadership of our search process. I can say without exaggeration having served on multiple senior leader search committees, the work with Valtas and the outcome was the most approachable and trustworthy search I have engaged with to date.”
...really grateful
“We’re really grateful to all of you at Valtas for offering this vital service for nonprofits and doing it so well. Liz was everything we could have hoped for in an Interim. She was warm, supportive, pragmatic, calm, and an effective leader to both the staff and Board. I really appreciated that she not only kept operations running, but helped us assess Jubilee’s strengths and weaknesses and make plans for improvement in the future. Liz has also been very helpful in onboarding our new ED and supporting her through the process. The fact that we asked to have her stay on as a consultant to our new ED is testament to how much we value her knowledge and skills.”
...exactly what we needed
“Can’t imagine these past few months without Laura. She was integral in getting West Side Baby stabilized. Her organizational assessment was spot on. Her expertise, calm approach, and willingness showing up onsite during a time when the staff really needed it was exactly what we needed. We knew when we were hiring Valtas that we were getting not only an experienced Interim but that she was backed by having a full team. WSB’s board was grateful for all of the Valtas resources to support Laura and us during such a challenging time.”
