Strategic Planning
Highlight: Facilitated startup strategic planning for the Family Resource Center Network of New Hampshire, formed in late 2025 to continue decades of formal and informal collaboration between the state’s constellation of Family Resource Centers. Process goals were to establish a long term vision, governance model, strategic goals and implementation plan for its first year of operations. A written member survey and several planning meetings were followed by an all day in person meeting in Concord, NH in February. The planning process utilized Appreciative Inquiry methodology, and deliverables included a written plan and comprehensive implementation process.
Highlight: Facilitated collaborative analysis and planning for the Greater Nashua Smart Start Coalition in 2023, to identify policy, system and environmental changes needed to continue becoming ‘trauma informed’ and ‘resilient’. Included a review of existing documentation and interviews with Coalition leadership, engagement of nearly four hundred community members in a participatory community input phase, and then a series of action planning meetings with leadership and community members to find consent on the desired changes and develop a two year work plan for implementing those changes.
Highlight: Facilitated startup strategic planning for Way Station New Hampshire in 2021. Process included internal and external surveys, stakeholder interviews, and several months of planning meetings, resulting in a strategic plan, implementation plan, launch of a hiring process for a new staff position, and launch of an egalitarian governance/management model.
Capacity Building
Highlight: Coordinated startup activities for the New Hampshire Early Childhood Funders Collaborative, a statewide community of practice of private and public funders, from 2022-2025. Provided coordination and facilitation support for both general meetings and advisory committee meetings, produced regular topical learning sessions for members, conducted comprehensive asset mapping, and developed a theory of change. At the end of the contract relationship NHECFC successfully hired its first director.
Highlight: Supported Salt Pump Climbing Company’s marketing, branding, strategy, and business to business collaboration during the startup periods for the Scarborough location (2015-2018) and Portsmouth location (2023-2025).
Project Management
Highlight: Led a comprehensive local food system assessment for the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust. The process included online surveys, interviews, focus group sessions, and creation of an interactive online map. The resulting report and recommendations helped guide strategic planning as USVLT targets organizational resources, prioritizes land and conservation easement acquisitions, and facilitates local food and agriculture initiatives.
