DESCRIPTION
The organization seeks a consultant to provide strategic planning services, beginning with a review of preparatory work completed by the board and staff. The consultant will assess the organization’s mission, vision, and identity, recommend revisions where warranted, and incorporate stakeholder input and environmental analysis.
The engagement will examine the organization’s competitive and comparative landscape, including its distinctive value proposition to members and federal agency partners, areas of overlap with other organizations, and its position among national associations, regional coalitions, and issue-specific advocacy groups. The consultant will also assess external trends affecting positioning, such as changes in federal land management priorities, funding conditions, and the broader nonprofit-partner environment.
The consultant will facilitate a process for the board and staff to establish focused strategic priorities, support consensus-building, and document relevant dissenting views. The resulting plan should be sufficiently specific to guide annual work planning, budgeting, and staff accountability. The consultant will recommend meaningful performance indicators and advise on organizational or capacity implications, including staffing, committee structures, and partnership models. A full organizational assessment may be proposed as an optional add-on.
