Our Values

Values are at the center of our commitments to clients and each other.

At NPAG, we recognize that oppressive systems limit opportunity—especially for those who have been historically marginalized—to obtain and thrive in leadership roles. We believe that organizations and movements creating equitable and inclusive societies must be led by diverse teams to achieve transformative outcomes. As talent partners, we support this belief by actively working to disrupt racism, ableism, and gender bias in our work and within our own organization.

We prioritize people and relationships. By creating conditions for engagement and experiences that are participatory rather than extractive, we aim to build trust and confidence ensuring all client engagements, regardless of their positional authority, have the opportunity to share confidential, candid input and feedback.

We lead with our values: Equity, Integrity, and Kindness.

Our commitments to our clients and each other center:

  • We center equity. We are deeply committed to advancing intersectional equity to foster inclusion and belonging in social sector leadership roles. We hold ourselves accountable and challenge ourselves to confront biases personally and professionally.

  • We lead with integrity & transparency. We bring proven tools, frameworks, and techniques to facilitate open dialogue with inclusive decision-making. At every stage, we take steps to show progress and communicate proactively across stakeholders, so that those involved in the process understand their role, how their input will be incorporated, as well as how and why decisions are being made.

  • We embrace kindness & connection. We find joy, humor, and gratitude in our work every day.
