Training & Facilitation
Presented 100+ workshops, seminars, keynote speeches, etc. Most featured various aspects of nonprofit sector management and governance, nonprofit organization board/staff roles and relationships, and team-building and professional development skills for individuals and groups. In addition to client-specific work, we have presented at numerous local, state, and regional conferences, as well as for national nonprofit professional assemblies. We have served for several years as adjunct faculty to several universities.

Worked on many kinds of collaborations and partnerships, from multi-organizational grant applications to the merger of health care clinics to 6 Girl Scout councils incorporated in two states (with members in four states). Worked to help alleviate stress between departments within large nonprofit organizations through a combination of group training, individual skills development, and counsel to involved parties and stakeholders.
