Association Leadership

In Brussels, Ellwood Atfield is the specialist in European association leadership recruitment.

We have a strong record of recruiting leaders for diverse and important European associations, including Orgalime the European Engineering Association, Cosmetics Europe, spiritsEUROPE, the European Travel & Technology Services Association (ETTSA) and the Association of the European Self-Medication Industry.  All of our association placements have been successful.

We conduct and publish serious research into key association issues, including the recent reports on “Key Success Factors for European Associations”, “European Association Remuneration” and “High Performance Secretariats.”

Our entire team has first-hand experience of leading associations and recruiting association leaders. Unusually the entire Brussels Leadership Team has served on European Association Boards in different roles, including as Director General, Treasurer and Director of Communications and Public Affairs. Hence, Ellwood Atfield’s Brussels team really understand best practice in the profession, and critically how to recognize and recruit outstanding association leaders.
