The Contemporary American Theater Festival (CATF) is a renowned nonprofit arts organization producing bold, new American plays in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Known nationally for its creative excellence, CATF plays a vital role in the state’s cultural and economic landscape.
Through the Serve Directive, Selah Directive (formerly Ballard Consulting Group) partnered with CATF to provide critical transition management during a key organizational shift. Our work focused on stabilizing essential financial and human resources operations—ensuring continuity, compliance, and clarity during a pivotal time of change.
This engagement included:

• Interim financial operations support and stabilization
• Human resources process evaluation and advisory
• Integration of nonprofit financial management best practices
• Organizational continuity planning and leadership coordination

This partnership reflects Selah Directive’s commitment to helping mission-driven organizations maintain momentum through periods of transition—so they can stay focused on the work that matters most.
