NESC Consultants |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Volunteer Consultants.
They are what have been making NESC unique from its inception.
|
It was the vision of recruiting and mobilizing seasoned executives, managers, entrepreneurs and other accomplished professionals to help nonprofit organizations that launched NESC in 1977. It is the vision that guides and drives NESC now. To this day, Consultants – more than 300 of them – remain the core of NESC.
There is no “typical” NESC Consultant. Some have been executives and managers – from CEO of large and small organizations to all levels of management in such businesses as banking, real estate, consulting, merchandising, publishing, public relations and advertising. Others have been professionals – lawyers, accountants, engineers, architects and social workers. Still others have served with government agencies, educational institutions and, importantly, nonprofit organizations – as teachers, executive directors, program directors, chief fundraisers, grant writers and controllers. |

What This Means for the NESC Client
|
It means that every Consultant working on an NESC project is extremely experienced and has asked specifically for the assignment. It means an abundance of enthusiasm, at times irrepressible. And because of the widely-varied backgrounds of NESC’s Consultant cadres, only those with specifically relevant skills are assigned to a project. Clearly, NESC Consultants are the value proposition NESC delivers to its clients. |

What This Means for the NESC Consultant |
It means the opportunity to apply her or his well-honed skills and well-burnished experiences in a rewarding and self-fulfilling way. It means the challenge of analyzing and then addressing and then solving management and organizational problems. It means the chance to give back and make an important contribution to the community while working on an NESC Project Team with similarly skilled and dedicated – and interesting – volunteers. And it means the possibility of launching a second career or even supplementing a continuing first career.

Becoming an NESC Consultant
|
For those women and men who have completed their first career or are in career transition or still may be working but want to devote some time to helping nonprofits, becoming an NESC Consultant is probably an option well worth considering.
Exactly how much time a Consultant dedicates to NESC is determined by that Consultant. No one is assigned to a project. Consultants with appropriate skills are advised when a Client engages NESC for a new project and then has the opportunity to request to be considered for the project. Projects usually are handled by an NESC Team of at least two Consultants and are supervised by a very experienced NESC Manager.
Most assignments require one or two days per week for up to three months; some projects take longer. Much of the initial work, such as fact-finding, is at the Client’s premises. Almost everything else can be done at the Consultant’s home or office.
Those interested in becoming an NESC Consultant should complete an Application. Upon receiving the Application, NESC will contact the applicant to arrange an interview. Those applicants accepted by NESC then will be trained to become an effective NESC Consultant –receiving an overview of the consultancy process and the components of a basic NESC project and advice on how to work with nonprofits and on how to write the final Report presented by NESC to its Clients. |
