When people hear that I spend much of my time supporting Interim Executive Leaders, I’m often asked a simple question: “So… what exactly makes a successful interim?”

This Thanksgiving our team at Armstrong McGuire is reflecting with gratitude on the people and organizations that make our work so meaningful.

The Armstrong McGuire team has been honored to journey with several organizations in scenario thinking workshops and sessions in 2025.

At Armstrong McGuire, we believe that investing in leaders strengthens the entire nonprofit ecosystem.

We are pleased to welcome Cinda Merrill Waldbuesser as the 11th President and CEO of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy based in Harpers Ferry, WV.

Every year on November 13 the world comes together to celebrate World Kindness Day, first introduced by a coalition of NGOs in 1998.

Sometimes being a Development Director feels like you’re the “other duties as assigned” person for the entire organization.

I like plants. I like their shapes and colors and textures. I love the warmth and calm they bring to a space, their connection to the earth, the thrill of seeing a new leaf emerge.
