Our Experience


From our earliest days Isaacson, Miller has supported and empowered the country’s leading human and social services organizations, as well as nonprofits and civic institutions committed to revitalizing and strengthening the fabric of communities. 

 

Our Clients

Our clients in the human services sector care for our society’s most vulnerable populations and include child protective services, behavioral healthcare organizations, developmental disabilities providers, agencies serving low-income families, the homeless, the adjudicated, and more. Additionally, we have addressed the leadership recruitment needs of nonprofits across various sectors and civic institutions, including economic and community development organizations, faith-based institutions, associations, and government agencies. Through longstanding partnerships we have developed an intimate understanding of how strong, smart, and purposeful leaders advance our clients’ unique missions, and we deeply appreciate the important role that community-based human services organizations and national nonprofits and civic institutions play in strengthening our society.  

 

Our Commitment 

We recruit leaders who are passionate about the work and approach leadership with innovative strategies to meet not only the challenges of today, but also the challenges of the future.
