Partnered Leadership & Counsel

Leadership Support Without Daily Presence
Some leadership roles don’t require full-time staffing—but they do require steady insight. Our ongoing counsel model offers consistent support through regular visits and remote advising.

Rhythmic, Practical, and Strategic
We guide advancement, enrollment, HR, and operations with best practices, reflection, and accountability that strengthen decision-making.

Leadership Growth Without Disruption
Leaders stay grounded and energized through consistent engagement—receiving clarity, perspective, and practical guidance that aligns with their daily demands.

We accompany your leaders in real time, helping them lead with greater clarity, confidence, and care.

Mission-Driven Practitioners, Not Generalists
Our network includes former presidents, principals, advancement professionals, and system leaders who’ve walked the same roads—and know how to navigate them.

Faith-Informed, Field-Tested
We place advisors who understand Catholic culture, governance, charism, and the nuances of leading in Church-based environments.

Careful Matching. Real Relationships.
Every placement is intentional, relational, and aligned. You’re not just getting a name—you’re gaining a partner who’s invested in your success.

With ACELA, expertise meets empathy—always rooted in shared mission.

Adaptive Design for Catholic Realities
We recognize the budget limitations of schools and ministries. Our solutions are right-sized, blended, and flexible to fit your context.

Customized for Capacity and Impact
Whether interim presidents, HR counsel, or advancement project leads, we design engagements that maximize value without long-term cost.

High-Level Support Without High Overhead
We deliver professional guidance with the quality of a full-time hire—and the stewardship of a mission-first partner.

Leadership help shouldn’t be out of reach. ACELA makes it accessible, actionable, and aligned.

Filling Gaps with Mission-Aligned Capacity
We serve institutions facing leadership transitions, department vacancies, or project priorities that require experienced support.

Interim and Fractional Executives
From presidents and principals to advancement leaders, HR directors, or enrollment consultants, we deploy trusted voices who stabilize and guide.

Project-Based Expertise
We support advancement strategy, campaign execution, operations planning, and capacity-building initiatives with trusted guidance.

Wherever your mission needs momentum, we help you move forward with confidence.

Built on Trust, Grounded in Relationship
When leadership gaps emerge, trust is everything. We bring seasoned, Catholic-rooted professionals who serve with humility, clarity, and collaboration.

No Templates—Only Tailored Solutions
We listen to your needs, discern your priorities, and respond with leaders who are a cultural and strategic match.

A Partner Beyond Placement
Support doesn’t stop with a placement. ACELA stays with you—offering counsel, perspective, and partnership that extend far beyond the interim.

We don’t just fill gaps. We walk with you in mission, through every moment that matters.
