The challenge

Leading a nonprofit has its own set of complexities, different from a business or the public sector. Nonprofit and social impact leaders are often overworked, overtasked, and/or overly dependent on minimal resources.

The Cappelli toolkit

Using a robust set of tools grounded in organizational development, Cappelli helps organizations build a strong foundation of processes and systems with opportunities to invest in long-term success.

  • Interim Executive Director

    As an experienced executive director, Meegan can support your organization during periods of transition. By utilizing Cappelli’s services in an interim executive director capacity, you have an opportunity to go through a full assessment of internal systems, processes and governance structures while you review your needs for a new executive director and set up the organization for success in its next strategic planning process. The interim ED supports all operations and staff needs during this period as well.

  • Part-Time or Fractional Executive Director

    Are you seeking a nonprofit or social impact leader but do not need a full-time employee? Meegan can support your organization as a part-time or fractional ED. Through her experiences as an executive director and president of multiple organizations, Meegan has an extensive skill set in organizational development, strategic planning, building partnerships, working with boards and running operations.
