Brian Foss brings
more than 30 years of executive positions with national and regional
organizations to his consulting work. Based in Washington, DC until
moving to Miami three years ago, he served as Vice President of
Independent Sector during Brian O’Connell’s leadership,
a decade as National Executive Vice President of the national office
of The National Conference for Community and Justice, and educational
organizations including Presidential Classroom, American University,
and the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
Brian’s
consulting focuses on working directly with CEOs of nonprofit organizations
as a “confidential strategic thinking partner” to insure
that an organization’s mission, programs, and services are
being effectively delivered. He recognizes that CEOs often do not
have an experienced colleague to turn to for “behind the scenes”
help in resolving the major challenges facing today’s nonprofits.
Among the areas
of his focus are helping a CEO to strengthen relationships with
the board; aligning the board for the organization’s needs;
resolving difficult staffing situations; budget preparation and
monitoring; strategic positioning of the organization for its future
and linking a CEO with resources across the country.
Equally important,
he works with nonprofits that are in terrific shape, financially
healthy, and with good boards and staff. He assists the CEO in preparing
the organization for its next levels of achievement, and to ensure
that the organization remains strong. His approach is to build capacity
of the CEO and strengthen the CEO’s standing with the board,
staff, and community.
Brian also writes
a monthly op-ed on the nonprofit sector for Miami Today.
