The Standards for Excellence® Institute continues to build a national network of qualified nonprofit consultants licensed to provide training, consulting, and support on the Standards for Excellence: An Ethics and Accountability Code for the Nonprofit Sector. Standards for Excellence Institute Licensed Consultants come from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. In anticipation of the upcoming Licensed Consultant Training, we’re highlighting the journeys of some of our consultants.
“The Licensed Consultant Training was incredibly valuable. It confirmed and enhanced my knowledge of all things nonprofit. I had been a nonprofit executive for 22 years at the time I participated in the training, so I thought I was pretty knowledgeable! The Licensed Consultant Training confirmed that my existing knowledge was current, and filled in the pieces of information I didn’t have already. Since becoming a Standards for Excellence Licensed Consultant I am certain that I am coaching my clients on widely accepted best practices. I am confident in the knowledge I share with my clients, and know that I am not simply relying on the experiences and training of my own nonprofit career. The materials you gain access to as a Licensed Consultant are just awesome. Absolutely awesome! I adapt the Standards for Excellence Institute training and educational resources and use them with every client in my consulting practice. Having the Institute’s PowerPoints and documents in an easily useable and adaptable format is just priceless. Even after the Licensed Consultant Training and access to the Institute’s materials and resources, I occasionally have questions. The staff at the Standards for Excellence Institute continue to be incredibly helpful. I know they are here to help all along the way.” – Patricia G. Hanberry, MA, Standards for Excellence Institute Licensed Consultant
