Overall Experience
As an independent advisor, I have been able to influence organizations at the strategic level that even a board member cannot do.
|
I have engaged in a half-dozen projects with ESC involving a broad range of agencies in the social services and arts sectors. All of the assignments have been personally rewarding and have seemed to make a significant difference in the top-level operation of the organizations. In the process, I have developed new and valuable skills. The projects have expanded my networking and my involvement in the community, and have served as a valuable complement to my service on several Seattle area nonprofit boards

Overall Experience
Great opportunity to give back and use my experience and skills

I have worked with ESC as a volunteer consultant for more than 3 years. I've had a chance to work with a variety of clients in arts and social services where I've both learned how work in the nonprofit sector and contributed in a meaningful way to the success of the organizations I worked with.
