• You need to fill a room for a crucially important press event or academic symposium. This includes finishing the agenda, finalizing speakers, publicity, logistics, and print materials.

  • You want to build support for a new initiative—and rapidly. You are weighing the value of a producing a DVD. You are certain you need to build a worldwide mail list.

  • You anticipate making a fundamental change within your organization, and staff—or faculty and students—must understand and be persuaded to accept its rationale.

  • Your Web site is adequate—but the design and architecture are old. It does not convey the heart of your message nor the centrality of your mission. You’re worried an upgrade will be expensive.

Thus far you’ve relied on in-house staff and, while you appreciate their willingness to accommodate communications or outreach, you suspect that this effort isn’t sustainable.

If only someone could work collaboratively with staff—they need to be energized. Furthermore, you're really not sure you are using the right communications approach or the right media. Based in Boston with 25 years of experience in higher education and nonprofits, Bev can provide an economical solution to your communications needs and aspirations.

Bev has launched a number of community-based initiatives. She is a co-founder of Belmont Against Racism, a nonprofit organization created in 1992 to promote awareness and dialogue about racism and build bridges to greater understanding. In 1994 she received a leadership award from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for anti-racism work in collaboration with the METCO program (Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity) and the public schools. Bev has served on the board of the First Church Unitarian Universalist in Belmont and prior to this, coordinated a $5 million church renovation and new building project that included a successful capital campaign. In 2007, she led a group to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to help prepare homes for rebuilding in the historically black community of Turkey Creek. Since then Bev has helped raise $1.3 million to support mental health services and  summer camps for 3,000 children in this area devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
