What kinds of projects, tasks, or challenges do you typically partner with nonprofits on?
Janetta Cravens, CoSpire, works with nonprofit boards of directors and CEOs who seek excellent governance and customized strategies in order to mobilize people to make progress on hard problems and create a more just world. We specialize in alternative models of governance for national and international nonprofits, strategic planning and action planning that align values with direction, CEO and Senior Leader support through coaching and leadership assessments, transitions, and annual reviews, and Board Chair and CEO partnership.
Why would someone choose to work with you?
We are inclusive, forward-thinking strategists who believe in innovation and human progress through attentive group development. We believe that nonprofits are essential to communities and the people they serve and anyone with that level of responsibility and accountability needs the best tools at their fingertips to be supported in their goals. That's why we strive to deliver the best leadership support, governance training, and strategic planning to compel nonprofit leaders into their pathways of success.
