For 25 years I taught courses on organization management, governance, board and executive leadership in addition to conducting research on these topics at the University of Colorado, School of Public Affairs. As a Research Professor and Director of the Nonprofit Management Concentration, I participated on more than 100 Masters' Capstones and Doctoral Dissertation Committees.
As a Fulbright Scholar, I taught at the Moscow State University of Management, and authored a book on civil society and nongovernmental management. Thousands of copies of the book were distributed to universities throughout the Russian Federation.
Also, I have had the privilege of delivering guest lectures in several European universities and throughout North America.
I have enjoyed sharing information as a Keynote Speaker and facilitating workshops in the USA and Europe.
I have consulted to numerous organizations and local, state and federal government entities: facilitating strategic plans, developing Mission and Vision statements, training CEOs and Boards of Directors, and Solving Organizational Problems.
