Potrero Group

Following a national search, our partners at Outward Bound California have chosen Stephen Streufert to serve as their next Executive Director. Stephen began as a base camp cook at the North Carolina Outward Bound School in the 1980s, leading him to a decade with Outward Bound. Now, he aims to inspire future Outward Bound California students to embark on their own life-changing adventures. Join us in welcoming Stephen Streufert!

Join us in celebrating a milestone moment with Elizabeth Babcock, an executive search placement and friend of Potrero Group, as she takes on her new role as Director at the Smithsonian Women’s History Museum. Today, she launches We Do Declare: Women’s Voices on Independence, a groundbreaking project marking the 50th anniversary of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. This project captures personal histories of the significance of economic independence. Dive into this important narrative here: https://s.si.edu/48mNQJe

We are honored to share and learn from the best in the field! Thank you!

Fear is an unavoidable aspect of leadership. Often, it emerges from uncertainty: navigating the unknown, stepping outside of your comfort zone, or facing unforeseen risks that could derail your organization’s strategy. But fear is not a sign of weakness. If you’re not feeling it from time to time, you probably aren’t stretching and growing your organization. As we celebrate spooky season, we encourage you to embrace fear as a key part of leadership. This month's edition of The Growth Edge offers practical strategies to move through feelings of fear and uncertainty.

Joining IIC Partners allows us to bring our deep expertise in supporting environmental organizations, social entrepreneurs, and public-private partnerships to the global stage. We are excited to collaborate with partner offices on cross-border search assignments and address the leadership needs of mission-driven organizations.
