Our Partners

Mariko Miki

Co-Executive Director, If/When/How

“Working with NPAG was a dream: they listened deeply to our needs and tailored the search process to align with our organizational culture, which is highly participatory and not Board-driven. When we told them we wanted to do a co-leadership position, they didn't balk, and instead asked great questions, presented us with options, and helped steer our thinking around strategy. The team was accessible, responsive, super competent, and just a pleasure to work with.”

Morey Riordan

Executive Director, Openhouse

“As a candidate of transgender experience in a culture that can lack understanding, I felt that NPAG was with me every step of the way, encouraging me to bring my full self to the process, while cheering me on along the way. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend NPAG as a search firm for both employers and candidates. Not only are they highly effective, but they also bring a keen understanding of the human experience in the search for all parties involved.”
