Managing Consultants – The Consultant’s Perspective
Wednesday, September 17, 3:15 – 4:45 PM
From time to time, there is a need for specialization and expertise that needs to be filled through outsourcing. How do you set up a successful engagement with clearly defined scopes of work, manage to a budget, and get the desired work product that you are looking for? This session will approach consultant engagement from the perspective of consultants supporting the industry and what has made for “successful” engagements.
AAFCPAs looks forward to contributing proven perspectives from our work in the field. We see the resourcefulness and determination of the Community & Economic Development industry every day, and we are encouraged by the opportunity to share lessons that help organizations continue to adapt, thrive, and advance the mission of creating sustainable and equitable communities.
These insights will be contributed by Lauren M. Duplin, CPA, Partner, Nonprofit Consulting.
