CONSULTANT ROSTER

We are currently working on this page and while we do so data may not be correct.  

 

The BEST Consultant Roster is a list of vetted consultants and technical assistance providers. Individuals come throughout the region including western Michigan. They bring multiple experiences and areas of expertise to our agencies, funders and the community.  The consulting pool has been, and continues to be, critical to successful project implemenation.  Evaluation results indicate a high level of trust between agencies and consultants; knowledge transfer from consultant to agency; and, improved organizational performance in areas such as governance, operational management and resource development. 

In order to join the BEST Consultant Roster, providers must submit a complete application including details about their nonprofit experience and expertise; a consulting philosophy statement; a minimum of five recent references; and, a written statement of a recent client engagement. For more information on how to apply to become a BEST consultant please contact Jennifer Acree, BEST Project Director, at jmacree@bestprojectonline.org.  

 
***PLEASE NOTE NEW CONSULTANT APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED BEGINNING APRIL 1 THROUGH APRIL 30, 2010.  TO RECEIVE A COPY OF THE APPLICATION WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE IN MARCH 2010, PLEASE EMAIL JENNIFER ACREE, PROJECT DIRECTOR.*** 
 
Consultant profiles are updated regularly. However, if you do not find a consultant that meets your selection criteria upon review of the current list, please contact BEST Program staff for further information.
