About

We match great people to meaningful work that helps achieve your vision.

Since the firm’s founding in 2007, Stacy Nelson & Associates’ goal has been to offer executive search and placement services for nonprofit leaders with a highly personalized, transparent and high caliber service to our clients. Today, Stacy Nelson & Associates remains true to those goals. Our work is based on integrity, inclusivity, knowledge, transparency, and flexibility—all in the service of the client and its mission, vision and values.
