New Addition to the NTC Team

When we launched Nielsen Training and Consulting back in 2018, we did so with a vision of a thriving community of nonprofits empowered and equipped to translate their vision into reality. 5 years later, we are humbled and honored to be partnering with nonprofits all across the country to do just that.

Now we are thrilled to welcome a new addition to the NTC team, Ms. Josie Raymond. Josie will be an integral part of our projects partnering with nonprofits in the areas of governance, strategic planning, and organizational development. She brings a wealth of experience and passion as an educator and policymaker. As soon as I met Josie, I was struck by her energy, talent, and commitment.

Join us in welcoming Josie to the NTC team!
