PHENND seeks strategic planning consultant

Posted by on September 7, 2008

PHENND seeks a consultant familiar with higher education and non-profit management to guide leadership and key stakeholders through a strategic planning process that will:

• Deepen the commitment of existing institutional members with the possible revision of the membership fee structure
• Establish systems and infrastructure to formalize institutional memberships
• Develop a governance structure for effective decision-making and planning
• Clarify the goals and objectives of the organization

At this time, PHENND has not yet secured funding for this project.  We are looking for consultants who might donate their services as an in-kind contribution from their institution, or perhaps be able to secure funding from outside sources to complete this project.  The time of any and all stakeholders and participants will be donated by member institutions as will any needed meeting rooms, facilities, and refreshments.

Graduate students in relevant fields are welcome to apply.
