Robbie MacCue

"As someone who was the President of a nonprofit, I wish that I knew about the Standards for Excellence Institute sooner. The wisdom and knowledge of so many nonprofit and governance leaders is captured in the Institute's easy-to-understand guiding principles, providing a clear pathway for nonprofits to follow to succeed. I look forward to bringing the Standards model to as many Emergency Services and Health and Human Services organizations as possible with my new status as a Licensed Consultant."
