Profit From Our Experience
Our nonprofit consultants have made NESC unique from the very beginning. They're all volunteers. They're committed to “giving back” and they do it by bringing their skills and experience to nonprofits. They're so committed, in fact, that they contribute an aggregate of over 35,000 hours of professional time to NESC clients each year.
The vision of recruiting and deploying seasoned executives, managers, entrepreneurs and other accomplished professionals to help nonprofit organizations led to NESC's establishment in 1977. And that vision drives NESC today.
There is no typical NESC consultant. Generally, though, our approximately 250 consultants have been executives and managers -- CEOs of large and small organizations, to all levels of management in such businesses as banking, real estate, consumer products, merchandising, publishing, public relations and advertising. Others are professionals such as lawyers, accountants, consultants, engineers, architects and social workers. Still others have served with government agencies, educational and healthcare institutions and, importantly, nonprofit organizations, as teachers, executive directors, program directors, facilities managers, chief fundraisers, grant writers and comptrollers.
NESC consultants have been employed in some of America's leading companies and organizations including IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Aetna, Publicis, Time Warner, McKinsey, Celanese, AT&T, ExxonMobil, Heidrick & Struggles and Northrop Grumman.
All NESC consultants are required to complete NESC's training program, which consists of an orientation course, followed by assignment to an experienced project team working with an NESC client. And, finally, all consultants participate in a two-day skills-training workshop to hone their skills in applying best practices from corporate America to the nonprofit organizations we serve. Each nonprofit is unique in its mission, its resources and its constituencies, and each assignment must result in recommendations that will work in the particular environment in which each nonprofit operates.
Every consultant working on an NESC client project will possess the skills and experience appropriate to the assignment, together with an abundance of enthusiasm and commitment to the success of the client.
And in addition, these professional consultants will be highly motivated by the opportunity to serve, applying their exceptional skills and hard-earned experience in a rewarding way. They will be excited by the challenges of fact finding, analysis and the development of practical recommendations -- all in the interest of enhancing the effectiveness of your organization.
