MY APPROACH (Continued)

Commitment to inclusion
Woven throughout each step of an engagement are questions like: Are we creating an environment where diverse opinions are valued and people feel empowered, respected, and heard? Are we missing anyone at the table when issues are considered and decisions are made? How do we ensure that at every level of this process, our deliberations are inclusive and our actions result in equitable and just decisions? Are we aware of our biases and make appropriate adjustments to address them?  How do we select the data that inform our deliberations? In what ways do we need to improve? I make an intentional effort to help my clients hold themselves accountable and encourage them to do the same for me.

An approach that draws from the interrelated aspects of nonprofit management
I bring in-depth experience and skills in the areas of board development, organizational planning, fund development, community outreach and engagement, communications, and outcomes assessment and reporting.  My work with clients is informed by an understanding of how all of these functions relate to and build on one another. 

A commitment to providing direction and solutions that clients can really use
My commitment to clients is that the process and product I provide will be highly thoughtful, tailored, reflective, consensus driven, and capable of being implemented based on the resources at your disposal.
