Executive Director Services
Depending upon an organization's needs, Ewald Consulting can work with an existing Executive Director or appoint a member of our staff to serve in that capacity.
Five staff members have earned the CAE designation from the American Society of Association Executives, demonstrating a high level of competence and fitness for association management. Several additional staff members have received training and are experienced in the Executive Director role.
Executive Coaching
Our executive coaching program provides you with ongoing, one-on-one contact with executive-level consultation. We work with you to set goals for yourself and your organization, tailor methods of implementation that work best with you, and track your progress over time. It is our practice to hold executives to the standards they set for themselves so they can achieve their potential and serve their organizations at their very best.
Our Core Consulting Service Solutions include:
Nonprofit Operations Analysis The Nonprofit Operations Analysis is a four-part review of an organization based on strategy, planning, implementation, and assessment. Our team of consultants will meet with staff, board members, and targeted members of the organization to gather key information and integrate these findings into a comprehensive report. The final product includes:
An executive summary of the Nonprofit Operations Analysis
A review of core operations
An in-person presentation of observations and tactical recommendations for development and growth
Marketing Analysis
We conduct expert-led studies on member recruitment, retention, member needs assessments, focus groups and comparative analysis.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning services are available to our association management clients and to other associations. Our skilled facilitators will help your group strategize a vision and mission, long-term goals and short-term goals
Leadership Training
We understand the challenges of building and maintaining enthusiastic leadership within an association. We develop and provide materials and training programs to help motivate volunteers, improve their awareness of their responsibilities and give them the tools to do the job. This helps avoid leader "burnout" and builds a pool of leaders for the future.
Here's what a client, Women's Advocates, had to say about a recent leadership training: "Your presentation on the history of nonprofits, fiduciary responsibilities and roles of board members and staff was well-received by our members. The PowerPoint presentation you provided, as well as additional reference material, was relevant and timely information for the organization."
And the Minnesota School Age Care Alliance: "We absolutely enjoyed the Board Leadership Training given by Ewald Consulting. This is a training we are planning to use with our newly appointed board members on a yearly basis as it provides a solid foundation on board governance and responsibility."
Customized Solutions
In addition to the solutions listed above, Ewald Consulting offers customized service solutions from helping you start up a brand new nonprofit organization to developing baseline indicators for ongoing monitoring and evaluation. If you have a challenge the areas of Event Management, Membership Development, ITIS or Executive Leadership, we can help you get more effective results.
