Facilitated Strategy Session

Project details

What we need
  • Expert third party advice on process or managerial changes, geographic or programmatic expansion, potential pivots, or general strategic planning
  • Facilitation of an intensive, one-day strategic planning session with staff and/or Board
  • Note: If necessary, a follow-up strategic planning session may be scheduled
Additional details

Our nascent environmental non-profit is looking for someone to assist with on-boarding of 3 new board members (board total = 7) We have two days of board retreat scheduled for January 5 and January 12 in Hillsborough NJ (Duke Farms) Our 100% volunteer run non-profit formed in 2015 and has accomplished a lot with a little but need more focus We would like facilitation assistance to guide us through SWOT analysis, project prioritization and more.

What we have in place
  • Although we have no staff, we have a very committed and motivated board of seven - we are ready to go!
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to conduct direct community outreach to primarily low socio-economic and immigrant (Spanish-speaking) communities.

The Lower Raritan Watershed Partnership (LRWP) is looking to ensure a successful onboarding experience at which we will set short and mid-term goals We are also looking for someone who can assist in narrative development and outreach communication. Our organization is very new - just three years old. Having just expanded our board we would like to take the opportunity to analyze what we have accomplished and reconsider how we can most effectively use our limited resources to achieve more great things!
