Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City Executive Search

About the work

Who they are...

Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City raises and allocates more than $5 million each year to support more than 80 Jewish programs and initiatives in Kansas City, Israel and around the world.

Their Challenge

The Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City needed to hire a CEO to lead the organization into its next phase following a major community study. They sought a leader deeply connected to Jewish organizational life, with a commitment to the Kansas City Jewish community, to guide the implementation of a strategic plan and drive fundraising success.

"Our Evolve talent consultant did a phenomenal job throughout the search. She was great at gathering input from key stakeholders, working with the search committee and managing candidates in the pipeline. She was very responsive, thorough and her honest feedback and guidance helped us tremendously."
