OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

Ewald Consulting can assist you in making progress toward attaining the goals outlined in your strategic plan. An Account Executive helps you define the steps needed to pursue these goals and integrate these into the association’s operations plan.

Our professionals serve in roles such as Executive Director, Managing Director and Associate Executive Director. We coordinate the work of team members in various departments to meet deadlines and get results. We have expertise in chapter relations and special interest groups. Our team also supports in-house executive directors.

Through our Organizational Leadership team, we can maintain and manage your operations, bylaws, training manuals, elections procedures and the logistics of any necessary bylaws updates over time. To help individual volunteers advance their leadership skills, Ewald Consulting offers online and in-person training as well as publications and references to partner resources that help volunteers feel empowered.

A true partner!

“Ewald Consulting has been a tremendous support to me as I transition to a new role on the Executive Committee. Our Executive Director is a wealth of information and provides extremely useful insight and guidance in support of the organization’s mission. Ewald is a true partner, we’d be lost without this support team.”

Alexandra Wong, ACLEA President

Led us to success!

“We have developed a great partnership that has allowed us to set a new course and succeed. As a board member I am well informed and have the information needed to make decisions. Our staff team at Ewald Consulting does their job, which allows us to do ours as volunteers, not as executives for another organization.”

Donald Palmisano Jr, J.D, AAMSE President

The team of staff wraps themselves around us to support what we're doing

“As the one full-time employee of MARRCH, there’s certainly a lot of work that has to happen behind the scenes, with program development, member outreach, maintaining our website, paying bills and receiving payments and all those things that happen. Certainly, I wouldn’t be able to do it by myself. So having the team of staff help wrap themselves around MARRCH to support what we’re doing is a huge benefit.”

Brian Zirbes, MARRCH Executive Director

Data Dashboards

Non-profit associations often come to us complaining of a lack of focus and accountability on strategic plan objectives. One way we address these problems is to create customized dashboards, showing clear comparison datapoints – several pages of highlights, showing strength and growth since the date of the strategic plan.

Boards review the dashboard at the end of each meeting, allowing them to conclude meetings with a sense of focus and finality.
