Skill-building Sessions and Board Retreats

Enlighten, Inspire and Motivate

Working with boards is one of our strongest areas of service. SCP’s team of nonprofit consultants have hands-on experience serving on (or leading) the boards of nonprofit organizations, and many also have years of involvement with fundraising committees and community outreach initiatives. Our consultants enlighten, motivate and inspire nonprofit boards of directors, through skill-building sessions and facilitated board retreats that help them to gain greater enthusiasm, accountability and adherence to the mission of the organization.

SCP has worked with nonprofits of all sizes and many disciplines across the country, around the world, and in our back yard to provide them with board training, strategic planning, board governance, fiscal responsibility and security, governance structure, and fundraising plans.

We offer tailored coaching services designed to support board members in achieving both personal and organizational goals. By focusing on skill development and providing expert guidance, our coaching enhances board members’ effectiveness and engagement. This individualized support is seamlessly connected to ongoing projects and strategic planning efforts, ensuring that board members have the tools and confidence to drive initiatives forward and contribute meaningfully to long-term organizational success.

In Our Clients’ Words

“It was such a pleasure to work with you. I appreciated how you helped guide the process but also let folks work through issues. I think many not only found the retreat productive but also cathartic. Insights and feelings were shared that were impactful.”

“SCP is Virginia Housing’s trusted learning, OD, and coaching partner. We are extremely pleased with the high-quality work and sensitivity that SCP provides and turn to them for work that requires skill and knowledge. After a very well-received training program delivered in 2018 by Monica Gould, Virginia Housing decided to engage with SCP in a 5-year master service agreement. SCP now provides training, team building, and executive coaching to our team members. The SCP team of facilitators and coaches has all been exceptional. We look forward to working with SCP for years to come. We recommend them very highly.”
