A
good consultant provides ideas, reality checks, skills and
experience and will leave you with plans, materials, and
the information to help you use them. But if you "hire"
a volunteer consultant, do you have the right to ask for
what you need? Absolutely! It's all about communication,
planning and setting realistic expectations. |

Kathleen
Caliendo, an experienced Business Volunteer for the Arts
and a professional strategic change consultant, will give
you the tools to navigate the process of assessing your
needs (not every organization should plunge directly into
strategic planning) and build a workplan together with
your consultant that will lead to the outcomes you are
seeking. |
