Our Experience


Supporting social justice and advocacy organizations is a fundamental focus of the firm’s work. We believe deeply that civic institutions sustain a vital democracy.

 

Our Clients

We partner with advocacy organizations across numerous fields of interest, including community and economic development, social justice and human rights, racial equity, democracy and voting rights, health care, and conservation. We deeply appreciate the commitment social justice and advocacy organizations bring to addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges, and we have strong connections to a network of leaders who are at the forefront of advancing social change in our nation. Leadership is an essential element in effecting positive systemic change; we are prepared and motivated to find exceptional leaders who are equipped to meet the challenge.

 

Our Commitment

Our founders established Isaacson, Miller when civic institutions rarely used executive search firms. Since then, we have become one of the leading search firms serving this sector. The firm’s track record in social justice and advocacy, as well as our foundational and lived commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, is part of what initially draws many to join Isaacson, Miller.
