Testimonials - Realize Solutions

"Realize Solutions helped our volunteer Board identify and recruit our Executive Director. While we were originally hesitant to spend on this process, all Board members involved quickly realized value in the investment we had made by engaging Realize to find a highly qualified candidate. Realize became a trusted resource to help us make the most efficient use of the Board’s time during recruitment. On behalf of the Board of ACCESS Community Capital Fund, I recommend Realize Strategies for any purpose-led organization looking to attract and retain talent."
