During more than twenty years of work focused on the not-for-profit sector, Tom has developed expertise in organizational development and facilitation, and a range of technical skills. He has helped organizational leaders plan meetings and retreats, as well as extended planning processes including strategic planning. Meetings and planning processes demand a major investment of one of organizations’ most frequently overlooked, and scarcest, assets: the time and attention of staff and board leaders. Tom helps organizations to be crystal clear about why they are gathering people, and to design agendas and exercises that deliver on their objectives and ensure a strong return on their investment of time and resources.
Tom also brings a wealth of experience in technical aspects of management including information systems, financial management, and business process reengineering.
Tom received his Masters in Management from the Heller School at Brandeis University in 1989.
Julia and Tom both keep busy in their own communities with volunteer experiences that provide another opportunity to give back and to learn in ways that enrich their work.
