Lisa Korwin launched Korwin Consulting with a commitment to assist organizations respond thoughtfully and effectively to pressing community needs. Having worked directly with nonprofit organizations in various capacities—Program Developer, Fund Developer, Executive Director, Coalition Member and Chair—Lisa saw many of these organizations struggling to keep up with day-to-day operations. These organizations had little time for thoughtful reflection—the type of reflection that leads to program refinement and true social change.

After 10 years of direct nonprofit experience, Lisa obtained a Master’s degree in Public Administration with a concentration in Organizational Change, and began consulting with nonprofit, government, and philanthropic organizations throughout the State of California, first as a Senior Manager with The Center for Applied Local Research, then with BTW Consultants, and now as Principal of Korwin Consulting.
