Joshua S. Mintz

Josh draws upon his background in government, theology and business as a foundation for understanding the complex social and political systems that govern organizations today. His work includes conducting organizational and leadership assessments to help organizations understand where they currently are – and facilitating strategic planning processes to help organizations identify where they would like to be in the future.

Along the way, Josh supports his client's efforts by strengthening management and governance systems and structures, facilitating staff and leadership retreats, and by serving as a sounding board for clients as they think about the challenges and opportunities they face as they carry out their mission and goals. His practice focuses primarily on the needs of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations.
