In this move we will serve the Oregon community where there are currently 25,952 organizations. Combined, these Oregonian nonprofits employ 227,995 people, earn more than $32 billion in revenue each year.

About Valtas Group
We help nonprofit organizations navigate uncertainty in times of leadership change. Our work as Interim Executive Directors supports our clients during periods and gaps in leadership. We lead the search process in partnership with the board and staff leadership, as recruiting and search consultants. We have a variety of comprehensive resources to guide your transition needs. We partner with board members and senior nonprofit leaders on a variety of strategic consulting assignments.

We also recognize the privilege that the historically white-led sourcing and recruiting industry represents and the inherent systemic bias which prevents people of color and those with other diverse perspectives from participating in an equitable and inclusive process. We strive to deeply understand where each client is on the spectrum of social justice and equity; and adapt our processes to support and advance the client’s goals.
