George Moskoff, CMC, Northern California Chapter, has founded The Minerva Project (MP), which works to link Consultants with Non-Profits who are in need of help and collaborations in a meaningful way, using Open Space Technology and Appreciative Inquiry. Founded in Sonoma County in 2009, the group now has 20 members and is working on their 15th project with their 12th Non-Profit pro bono client.

Kudos

Many IMC members demonstrate professionalism and dedication "above and beyond the call of duty” to IMC, the consulting profession or clients. These folks deserve our recognition and praise. This month, kudos go out to…

Mark Haas, CMC, who is serving as IMC’s webmaster extraordinaire. Many of us have relied on Mark to ably guide us in the workings of the IMC USA website. Mark is also immediate past IMC USA Board chair where he played a crucial role rebuilding IMC.

In Mark’s day job, he is President of Research and Organization Management, where he helps clients align strategy, operations, and culture to execute strategy and improve performance against mission. His expertise is in assessment, strategy, leadership, performance management, decision support, and process management.
