My writing and public policy work is broadly related to the role and operation of social purpose organizations in developing countries. I have conducted numerous studies and evaluations and written extensively on the growth of civil society in Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States. I have published several studies on management and organizational issues in the area of humanitarian assistance and international voluntarism.

My organizational development work includes executive mentoring, strategic planning, change management, board development, evaluation and non-profit partnering and merger.

Since I began my consulting practice I have written nearly 50 studies and reports and worked directly with more than thirty organizations in the United States and overseas.

I have had an opportunity to work in more than twenty countries in Asia, Africa, Central Europe and Central America.

My formal education consists of an MA, an MBA and a recent MA in literature from Middlebury and I have completed all but the dissertation toward a PhD in human resource management. My informal education consists of being a member of the board of directors for both commercial and not-for-profit groups and managing a sometimes-successful farm in the Green Mountains of Vermont.
