The Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits Offers Board Governance Consulting for Rural Nonprofits
Using phone and Web-based technology, nonprofit Executive Directors and Boards of Directors now have access to high quality, cost effective consulting in the key areas of Board Governance and Strategic Planning. These "remote access" options are specifically designed to reach rural organizations located OUTSIDE of Maricopa, Pima and Santa Cruz counties. (Teams of ESC Arizona consultants are available for in-person consultation within Maricopa, Pima and Santa Cruz counties.)
All you need is a phone, computer and internet service to connect with experienced ESC Arizona consultants. ESC Arizona is a program of the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits in which retired or current executives work in teams to provide expertise and technical assistance to help nonprofit organizations build their capacity for accomplishing their mission.
ESC Arizona can help you assess Board needs, clearly define roles and responsibilities, and refocus and strengthen board work. We also offer a process to help you spotlight and prioritize challenges, as well as develop a plan for future success and the strategies to get you there.
