“I’m joining Vanderbloemen Search Group because their approach is unique. It’s a smart approach that delivers results.” – Tammy Kelley
Tammy brings 15 years of ministry leadership experience to the Vanderbloemen Search Group with a particular focus on people and talent management. She has served in key leadership roles where her overall goal was to assemble teams of high capacity, high performance, and high character people who partner together to advance the kingdom. She has a track record of developing and implementing strategy, improving organizational effectiveness, and getting the right people in the right roles.
Most recently, Tammy served for seven years on the senior leadership team of Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, IL. While at Willow ,Tammy spent much of her time leading People Resources – human resources, internship, and volunteerism. In addition, she also had the opportunity to lead and strategically invest in: communications, global/local compassion, and Casa de Luz.
Prior to Willow Creek, Tammy served on the staff team of Ginghamsburgh Church in Tipp City, Ohio. Ginghamsburg has a reputation of instilling positive community impact by aggressively serving the under-resourced and being involved in social causes. While at Ginghamsburg Tammy served as the Executive Pastor and was also directly involved with Adult Ministries and Volunteerism.
When asked about working in a search firm, Tammy responded by saying,
“I’ve been skeptical about search firms in the past – quite honestly because during my 15 years in church leadership I’ve tried using search firms to fill key open staff positions a number of times – and the search firms just didn’t deliver. I’m joining Vanderbloemen Search Group because their approach is unique. It’s a smart approach that delivers results.”
In addition to serving with the Vanderbloemen Search Group, Tammy consults with churches, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations helping them create sound plans for growth and health, with careful consideration to the unique values of each organization. She is also a member of Tony Morgan‘s new Ministry Strategies team
Tammy is the author of numerous articles and has hosted many workshops all focused on developing people and organizational structures. At the end of the day I believe it’s all about loving God and investing in people.
Tammy and her husband Mike live in the Chicagoland area and are the parents of three grown children.
