A national provider of specialized executive search services and among the first national search practices to specialize in diversity recruiting. McCormack & Associates conducts searches for senior executives and board members for not-for-profit organizations with a focus on healthcare, social services, and social justice, and on behalf of for-profit corporations committed to diversity in the workplace.

Often run by volunteers, these organizations were beginning to receive substantial government and private sector funding. All needed top-flight professionals in key management positions, and McCormack & Associates was retained to fill over 100 such positions in its first five years of business.
