Suffice it to say, between COVID and my series of (successful) surgeries, my presentations slowed somewhat from earlier activities. That said, after 34 years of Training and Coaching on all topics related to Board Governance, Strategic Planning, Succession Planning, Volunteer Management and all aspects of Effective Fund Development name your need and we’ll craft a session together that addresses all the Learning Objectives and Key Deliverables that ensure your staff and volunteer teams receive the guidance (training) and support (coaching) they require to succeed!
