As a nonprofit manager, classroom teacher, grants administrator, and lawyer, I can both deliver the project and negotiate the support to implement it. Let’s discuss your needs for strategic planning, project management, or interim leadership: HeleneLuceConsulting@gmail.com.Presentations like staff training or professional development take into account how people learn best. Hands-on learning and small group discussions help participants understand the topic and apply new knowledge to existing situations. I can provide professional development to history teachers on a wide variety of topics including genocides, empires' rise and fall, and other current topics of world history.PLAN AND IMPLEMENTUtilizing the client’s mission and vision is crucial to create an implementation plan for staff to execute. Don't leave the plan on the shelf! I can provide the client’s next major steps need to be, who needs to perform them, and how to evaluate successful completion. For new businesses and businesses in transition, I can help the client navigate legal and tax compliance and set up a system that keeps the client current. As an experienced nonprofit manager and board member, I possess the ability to achieve consensus and believe in empowering staff to advance their careers. I can serve as an interim leader or co-leader during times of management transition.GRANTS AND SYSTEMSGrant writing must incorporate the client's best stories but also comply with all the grantor's requirements. Grant management includes looking at the client's portfolio to make sure each grant is providing enough to make the application worth the time. Setting up systems for compliance prevent the client from missing deadlines or constant scrambling to complete proposals.ABOUT MEI have experienced a variety of workplaces and feel comfortable with employees, bosses, government officials, and of course children. I was a one-time winner on Jeopardy so you want me on your team for trivia. I am involved in community and public life on the grass-roots level.
