How we can support you.

Turn to Crystal Lake Partners when you need a trusted partner to set your long-term vision, an independent advisor to bring a fresh perspective, or an experienced trainer to facilitate volunteer and staff programs. We provide strategic support in two primary areas:

Organizations benefit from adopting a culture of foresight to be best prepared for an uncertain future. We work with chief staff executives, governing boards, volunteers, staff, and key stakeholders to explore drivers of change and integrate futures-thinking into your strategy and operations. We listen to your pain points and aspirations to develop a practical action plan, guide you through that plan, facilitate future-focused discussions, and provide built-in accountability.

Volunteer and Stakeholder Experience

The heart of an association is its volunteers and the many ways they connect with the organization and each other. We can help you take a fresh look at your volunteer program and how you recruit, retain, and actively engage your organization's leaders. Beyond member volunteers, how are you involving non-members, participants, and other constituents throughout the association’s profession or industry? We drive organizations to broaden their perspective about who they serve and work with them to deliver value to the full spectrum of stakeholders.

Current Workshops
