Nonprofit & Arts Consultant
As a nonprofit and arts leader, I have guided organizations through every stage of their lifecycle — from strategic planning and fundraising to marketing, community engagement, and organizational development.
Through The Adlers Agency, I offer flexible, high-impact consulting and leadership services to nonprofit and arts organizations that need experienced executive support — without the commitment of a full-time hire.
Services include:
- Fractional Executive Leadership — Part-time, ongoing strategic and operational leadership tailored to your organization’s needs and budget
- Interim Leadership — Seamless, experienced coverage during leadership transitions, leaves, or periods of organizational change
- Short-term Projects — Strategic planning, fundraising audits, creation of development plans, grant writing, marketing strategy, and more
Whether you’re navigating a leadership gap, launching a new initiative, or ready to level up your fundraising and operations, The Adlers Agency brings executive-calibre expertise exactly when and where you need it.
Let’s connect!
I’d love to explore how I can support your organization’s mission and growth.

Laura Adlers is a shining beacon amongst culture management professionals in Canada. I have had the pleasure of working with her on concert and touring projects featuring my compositions. There is no doubt that, through her connections and with her experience and professionalism, she has brought my music to a greater audience. She is a gem and I look forward to future collaborations.
I had the pleasure of working with Laura Adlers on the Arts Consultants Canada Board, where she served as Vice President and co-chaired the marketing committee with me. Laura brought a vast range of expertise to both roles and was an instrumental voice in determining new strategic directions for the association. Most importantly, her empathetic leadership approach as VP was both admirable and appreciated.
I’ve worked with Laura closely on several projects, including four seasons as Director of Marketing when she was Executive Director of a professional choral organization. Laura is a direct and collaborative leader and an approachable and communicative partner. She builds consensus with her team, is open to exploring new ideas, and is always keen to learn more about everything! I look forward to the next time Laura and I can work together.
Laura is wonderful to collaborate with. She brings a holistic understanding to her work, catching everything from the smallest detail right through to the big-picture strategic goals. Her competent leadership skills and eloquent personality bring projects to life!
Laura is a producer and culture manager of great integrity and professionalism who has a solid understanding of the international choral world.
Laura is deeply dedicated to the promotion and management of both Canadian and international choirs and understands the importance of connecting international choral communities. She has been instrumental in raising BALSIS’ profile on the world stage.
We were so pleased to have Laura Adlers as General Manager of Pax Christi Chorale. Laura had the energy and conviction to take the organization to a higher level with expertise in corporate fundraising, audience building, grant writing and publicity. What was really impressive was that her administrative work was fuelled by a true love of the music. She was in tune with the musical product she was promoting, and she didn’t hide her enthusiasm.
