Energy/Environment
Until
recently, the polarization of corporations and conservationists in America
appeared to be etched in stone. But new imperatives have surfaced and
polarization is giving way to partnership. Since 1990, The Boulware Group has
worked with leading-edge clients to advance visions of sustainable
development. We’ve worked with leading environmental organizations and, on
public initiatives, and with local and community groups. We’ve seen this
complex field from all perspectives. Our clients respect our understanding of
the field and the conditions that produce real change - and they look to us to
find leaders who make change happen.
Boulware at Work
A national environmental
organization engaged The Boulware Group to recruit the Executive Director of a
new foundation. Chartered by a state legislature, the foundation was to
provide seed funding to help front-line organizations move the state closer to
energy sufficiency and a clean environment. The Executive Director would build
the foundation from scratch. S/he would develop its mission, shape its
infrastructure, and implement an action plan whose primary beneficiaries would
be the taxpayers and citizens of the state.
At Stake:
A quarter-billion dollar investment in sustainable development and in
balancing the needs of communities, corporations and the environment
Our Response:
-
We
worked with the client to map out start-up plans for a large and innovative
organization.
-
We
developed a strategic map of key players in energy and conservation whose
work bridges both fields: public officials, lobbyists, corporate relations,
academics, public officials, watchdog groups and industry observers.
-
We
implemented a set of criteria that viable candidates must meet in order to
be perceived as bias-free in the business, political and environmental
communities.
-
We
created a rigorous background and reference checking system, unique to this
position, to ensure integrity and professional competency.
The
Result:
The successful
candidate’s 30-year history as an attorney, civic volunteer and public
finance/policy expert gave him the strong planning, administrative and
political skills that the position required. As partner of a major law firm,
he had worked extensively in public policy at local, state and federal levels.
He was an effective public speaker and skilled in giving public testimony.
His long experience as board member of a major foundation and Executive
Director of another foundation prepared him for work in a grant-making
environment.
