Nonprofit GovernanceWhat happens in and around the nonprofit board room is critical to the success and sustainability of any nonprofit organization. We assist with both the interpersonal and the documentation associated with board service, from policies and procedures, by-laws, and conflicts of interest to communication issues affecting board members and/or the board and CEO. We do governance assessments, assist in committee structures, board member and CEO succession planning, and other issues affecting the proper function and health of a nonprofit organization's board.Strategic Planning for Hospitals and HealthcareWorked with dozens of hospitals and healthcare organizations to assist in strategic plan development and implementation services.
