skyline village chicago deliverable
DESCRIPTION
During the Spring of 2012, I was a team lead in Students Consulting for Non-Profit Organizations (SCNO) working with a non-profit named Skyline Village Chicago. Along with four analysts, I helped SVC, which creates events and builds community for retirees, in building their general member outreach and board recruitment plan. The final deliverables included board structure and recruitment guidance, continued leadership standards, marketing strategy, and promotional materials.TRANSCRIPT

specific areas: fundraising, membership, and finance.
