Formed James Grey Partners after recognizing that many small for profit and non-profit businesses need, but can often not afford, professional support for their operations. Currently helping small businesses grow and thrive by offering operations and project management services on a contractual basis. Descriptions below are from the Asian District Cultural Association Partnership.• Worked alongside Motif Creative to get association up-to-date by streamlining operational systems, implementing governing processes, bringing bylaws, taxes and insurance concurrent, adjusting sponsorship packets, and collecting past-due pledges.• Helped Board Chair maximize the bandwidth of the organization to better aid the Asian-American OKC community. For instance, we more-evenly distributed workload amongst the members of the board, more narrowly focused the three-year plan to one that was more achievable, and transitioned five small events into one large event.• Highlighted weak spots within the organization and gave Board Chair processes to gradually make these changes. For example, I encouraged the Chair to grow the board from five members to eleven and diversify the board to include a more holistic representation of the Asian-American OKC community. I also gave the Chair a process by which to transition an officer out of his position for chronic lack of service.
