Executive Services

Drake & Company conducts executive searches to help associations find executive directors and association specialists (editors, public relations directors, membership managers, etc.) to fill their needs for a professional staff.

As a multi-dimensional organization, Drake & Company has hired more than 50 executives...from CEOs and executive directors to public relations and marketing. We have selected and hired more than dozen executive directors and 75 senior managers.

Our process begins by facilitating a work session to quickly surface dreams and visions of board members.

Additionally, Drake & Company has co-authored a due diligence list for associations and chief executive candidates.

We have access to national association compensation surveys that can guide your Board of Directors in establishing a compensation range that meets professional and industry standards.

By employing Drake & Company's executive services you will benefit from our:

• Vast network of contacts in associations, agribusinesses, cooperatives and marketing and public relations.
• Unique perspective of managing associations and not-for-profit organizations.
• Experience in establishing compensation and in negotiating an employment agreement with the person selected as the new CEO.
