Looking Forward to Working Together

In addition to my many years of nonprofit consulting for a wide range of organizations, I have a breath of employment experience in different nonprofit sectors – social service, mental health, domestic violence, youth, hotlines, social justice, and independent schools.  I have served on numerous nonprofit Boards, political appointments and associations.  Tenure as an Executive Director, President/CEO, Director of Finance/CFO and adjunct faculty teaching Nonprofit Financial Management make me exceptionally qualified to assist you in your efforts.

"I have known Chuck since the 90s when he was the Executive Director at Interface Children Family Services in Ventura. We co-created the Institute for Organization Health - a multi-year capacity building project focused on domestic violence organizations and funded by the state. The project involved training management teams in a cohort model, onsite consulting, assessments and creation of multi-year organizational plans. We worked with nearly all of the DV groups in the state through this project. I got to witness first hand Chuck’s stellar strategy development skills, ability to understand the core issue of a problem and then present in clear terms options for organizations. He has many areas of deep knowledge and skills. One of those areas is in financial analysis including the ability to explain financial issues from those that are simple to those that are complex in clear understandable language." Patty Oertel
