Planning
On behalf the Board of Directors, we would like to thank you very much for facilitating the work of creating a new strategic plan for our network. It was a pleasure to work with you and everything flowed smoothly. It is great to have this project complete! I hope we will get the opportunity to work together again in the future.

Thank you so much! Looking forward to the notes and your presentation was very well received! Lots of growth happening with the board and you helped steer more of that in the right direction. Really enjoy working with you and will keep you in mind for my other boards.

Planning
Our strat plan is moving along better than I could have imagined. I chair the group of around 20 Board and staff who have been meeting monthly for the past 6 months and plan to continue through the fall. Great enthusiasm from all involved and much is being accomplished already, particularly on renewed focus on our Mission and Vision. And thanks again for getting us off on the right foot!

BETTER BOARDS. BETTER MANAGEMENT. BETTER COMMUNITIES.
YES, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU
COVID has changed our world, but not what we do at CMCS. We continue to help you make your non-profit better. In spite of COVID, over the past two years we have assisted organizations with their strategic plans, with their bylaws and with their policies on governance and operations. We have even provided training to not just one but many Boards of Directors. So everything is possible, even if we seem a little distant (LOL).
