The Southeastern Council of Foundations (SECF), a regional membership association of public and private grantmakers based in 11 southern states, announced today that BoardWalk Consulting had been retained to conduct the search for the organization's next President.

"We were impressed by BoardWalk's exclusive focus on the nonprofit sector and its record of finding outstanding leaders who unite vision, expertise and cultural fit," said Debra M. Jacobs, President of the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation and chair of the SECF search committee.

"BoardWalk's sensitivity to the special needs of grantmaking institutions and the firm's own record of investment in the sector make them an ideal search partner. Together, we will identify a compelling leader who can build on SECF's wonderful heritage while exploring new and exciting ways to serve the region's grantmakers."

The new president will oversee high-quality programs and services for SECF's 370 members. Among other priorities, the president will be charged with implementing an ambitious new strategic plan and developing services and programs that address the emerging needs and opportunities facing foundations throughout the southern quadrant of the United States.
