NextChapter is a consulting group working with companies, nonprofit organizations, and associations to develop strong education partnerships. We help identify your needs and deliver services to achieve your goals. In this dynamic and ever changing education environment building strong partnerships are essential to grow your organizations.
About me
I established NextChapter Consulting after more than two decades working with associations and organizations in the education and ed tech space.
My experience includes federal and state legislative advocacy for the College Board, communications and outreach for Project Tomorrow, external relations for the U.S. Congress’ Web based Commission and sponsorship , partnership, global outreach, and strategy for CoSN.
I formed NextChapter to continue my work and provide services to a select group of clients who share my commitment to improve education and transform the learning experience through technology.
With cancellations and postponements of conference and events, associations and their corporate partners are working to identify new ways of working together. Hope the recent blog will help you navigate the new reality.
