As a non-profit success expert, I’ve made it my mission to future-proof every organization I work with, offering sustainable 21st-century strategies for success, just like I did for the National Council for Social Studies.The board didn’t have strategic priorities for itself or its executive team. Over time, the board’s focus shifted from one seemingly immediate project to another.The CEO had been there for five years and knew the board and staff needed to gain consensus on a clear set of future roles, goals, and priorities. Together, we established a clear set of strategic priorities to expand the reach, sales, and reputation with 100% board support. These included:A series of processes that used systems thinking and design methodologiesThe tools to find consensus and understand themselves, their members, and the outside influences on the ability to achieve the organization's mission and visionA clear plan for applying organizational development principles to avoid the inability to see the forest for the treesToday, the company has expanded its business portfolio, added members, and focused its political action and PAC on defined objectives, resulting in improved earnings and political power.The company gained a group of design-thinking processes that enabled it to better know its member needs, prioritize resources, and ensure its executive had a clear understanding of board expectations to be achieved in a fixed period of time.Want to see how I can put your nonprofit’s problems in the past?Contact me today and tap into my four decades of experience helping associations just like yours deliver maximum value and enjoy sustainable, long-term success.

As a nonprofit success expert, I’ve made it my mission to future-proof every client organization with sustainable, 21st-century strategies, just like I did for the Association of Securities & Exchange Commission Alumni, Inc. The client didn’t have a strategic growth plan, so they were wasting valuable time and money on mis-prioritized activities, direction, and resource commitment.Together, we developed the organization’s first-ever strategic plan, resulting in proper time prioritization and investment in the necessary resources to meet their mission, including some of the following:- Increasing fundraising- Expanding networking opportunities- Improving technology capabilities- Improving board of directors, staff, and, volunteer commitments- Transforming short-term vision into future-based thinking- Defining roles more clearly- Streamlining programs and activities and retiring those no longer needed- Optimizing time use- Building affiliate relationshipsFor the first time, the organization had targeted goals and a clear understanding of where to spend its time and money. This allowed it to end unnecessary projects and invest in future-oriented products and infrastructure for a more sustainable future.Want to see how I can put your nonprofit organization’s problems in the past?Contact me today to tap into my four decades of experience helping associations like yours deliver maximum value and enjoy sustainable, long-term success.
