Services

For over ten years, Spokes has provided consulting, resources, and training workshops to promote excellence in nonprofit governance, management, and operations.

The Spokes Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to dissolve the organization later in 2021. In the meantime, however, Spokes will continue to offer many of the programs below virtually. See the Events/Workshops page for current offerings.

Training. Spokes offers regular workshops, roundtables, and certification series designed to help participants develop their professional and leadership skills.  Our various training sessions are designed to train executive directors, staff, volunteers, and board members to better manage and lead your organization.

Consulting. In the past, Spokes offered specialized consulting services to help solve problems, develop plans for the future, and navigate through unexpected challenges – both internally and externally. Going forward, Spokes offers referrals to local consultants who may be able to assist in a similar way.

Resources and Useful Websites. Previously, a members-only benefit was access to the Spokes library of books on a wide range of nonprofit leadership topics, plus a collection of online resources that included sample policies, templates, contractor agreements, and the like. Now, a carefully curated collection of these resources is available to everyone on the Resources and Useful Websites page.
