WE WIN Institute
"The board development work we did with Amanda [Ziebell Mawanda] at Propel literally gave our board members the tools to start leading the organization and not just following the lead of the staff or executive director."
Sindiswa Georgiades, WE WIN Institute
Old School Art Center
"Even when you think that you are doing OK, it isn't until you go through the board development process that the full board has the opportunity to engage in active strategy and goal creation."
Linda Kvasnicka, Board Member, Old School Art Center
Lake Street Council
"It can be hard to prioritize board development when you've got programs to run and a grant application due by 4:00 pm on Friday. Working with Propel helped us take a vague notion that our board could be more engaged and effective, and helped us break it down into manageable chunks."
Allison Sharkey, Executive Director, Lake Street Council
JK Movement
"For an organization like us still in a growth phase, if you don’t have support or the opportunity to apply for upfront loans like we were able to get from Propel, it can be hard to continue to grow."
Johnny Allen, Executive Director, JK Movement
Elpis Enterprises
"The trajectory is long – it can take people a long time to get where they want to go. Part of that is getting kids on a journey that they’ll enjoy, and that they choose."
Paul Ramsour,
Executive Director, Elpis Enterprises

"Taking the time to pause, look ahead, and focus together has fired us up to get stuff done!"

Program Director, Interfaith Caregivers

"Propel doesn’t take on projects that aren’t values-driven and that aren’t looking for a true change. That’s why I went with Propel."
