We’re shining a spotlight on NNCG member Mark Guglielmo! 💡

As the founder and strategic advisor of Phloetic, Mark works with foundations, arts organizations, and cultural institutions to build systems that last beyond individual grant cycles.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience as both an artist and institutional leader, he focuses on artist-centered grantmaking, ecosystem design, cross-sector partnerships, and shifting power to the people closest to the work.

Working with a board can be complicated. 😓 Let’s talk about it. 💬

Boards bring together people with different experiences, perspectives, expectations, and ideas about what their role should look like. Add in the unique dynamics of philanthropic organizations and the relationship between a CEO and the board, and navigating those relationships as a consultant can become even more complex.

Join us October 22 from 2–3 p.m. EST for Principles of Practice for Working Effectively with Boards, where Lisa R. Jackson, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Insights Solutions Consulting, and Jason McGill, Ph.D., Founder and Principal of Justice Associates, LLC, will share principles of practice they’ve found effective when working with boards. ✅

Whether you regularly work with boards or occasionally find yourself navigating board dynamics as a consultant, this conversation offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and add new approaches to your toolkit.

We love seeing NNCG members sharing knowledge and lifting up the work of fellow members! 👏

Today, we’re giving a shoutout to NNCG member Lisa Frantzen for sharing this insightful post highlighting the work and insights of her colleagues at TCC Group, also an NNCG member organization.

Lisa’s post highlights an important conversation happening in TCC Group’s Corporate Measurement & Evaluation Community of Practice: the connection between social impact and business value.

Check out her post and the insights from TCC Group, and give both fellow NNCG members some support while you’re there!

See you Thursday! 🥳

We’re looking forward to getting into the “business” of consulting firms with Way-Ting Chen of Blue Garnet.

From talent and capacity to systems, culture, and sustainability, we’ll be talking about the parts of running a consulting practice that don’t always make it into the client-facing conversation.

If you lead or manage a team-based consulting practice, come ready to learn, share, and maybe commiserate a little, too. 😅

October 8 | 1 to 2 p.m. EST
