The Batten Group has just been chosen to represent the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), an independent, nonprofit organization that serves as a partner to First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move Initiative by linking and mobilizing the private sector, foundations, thought leaders, media, and local communities to action and further the goals of curbing childhood obesity within a generation.

The First Lady announced the establishment of PHA during a 2010 White House event.  The PHA is now ready to hire some key members of their team including an Individual Giving Director based in Washington, DC.  They chose The Batten Group, an executive search and consulting company specializing in the nonprofit industry, to fill this key position within their organization.    

"We have 30 years of experience in the nonprofit industry" says Jim Batten, Principal of The Batten Group.  "Many of our team members have been Executive Directors of nonprofit agencies themselves so we know the demands of the industry.  We have a proven track record of finding the most qualified candidates and placing them in the perfect jobs to match their skill sets.  This business is part science and part heart.  The Partnership for a Healthier America knows that and it's why they chose us to help them."
