San Diego Social Venture Partners

Amid the changing media arts landscape with a new leader at the helm, Outside the Lens questioned how it could continue to respond to the needs of young people - amplifying their voices in a powerful way - and sustain its growth trajectory. Lead Partner C'Anne Vaughn and Partners Veronica Ford, Steve Ness, and Joyce Ross  facilitated a process for the nonprofit that resulted in the development of a three-year strategic plan entitled Building a Vibrant Future. “With SVP's help we were able to advance our key objectives (strategic planning and board development) with intention, inclusion and collaboration. SVP served as a thought partner and facilitator which allowed us to have transparent conversations with staff, board and the community, ” shared Sarah Beckman, Executive Director. The roadmap now exists as a living document allowing the nonprofit to adapt to the evolving needs of the community while ensuring alignment with its mission and values.  Read more on the blog.
