What's New?

• Board retreats I can help your not-for-profit board or community group plan and facilitate retreats for strategic planning, team building, or to resolve other important issues. I've added a new webpage with details.
• Links page.  No website is complete without a links page, so here's a few of the online resources I've found most useful. 
• I ran for Mayor of Ithaca in 2003. Visit my political website at www.lerner2003.org.

Workshops.  Susan Lerner is my wife and training partner.  We offer workshops for not-for-profit and local government organizations, as well as personal skill-building workshops for the public.  Our workshops are practical, participatory and fun.  Details.

About me. I have a lifetime of experience building successful community organizations. I'm an educator, a community developer, an experienced agency executive and local elected official, and a trained philosopher.  I've been successful in developing flexible, participatory, results-based approaches across a broad range of issue areas, including local government budgeting, solid waste management, justice system planning, community festivals, university-based community development, and many others.  Details. 

Writing. Take a look at some of my recent writing on Community and Organizational Development and the Future of Tompkins County.
