Anne Maxfield, nonprofit consultant, will help participants advance their governance efforts through the creation of an effective board. She will cover topics such as recruitment, orientation, training, the board-staff partnership, and measuring effectiveness. Functional and robust boards just do not happen; they are created, nurtured, and empowered. While every aspect of building a board cannot be covered in 50 minutes, nonprofit executives will leave the session with a better understanding strategies and tactics they can put into motion in their nonprofit.
Anne M. Maxfield, life-long resident of northern Kentucky, has parlayed her years of experience in business
development, fund development, board work, and executive leadership to help nonprofit organizations grow
their mission.
Ms. Maxfield has a unique blend of business experience, problem-solving skills, and an effective leadership
style integrating collaboration with consensus building, yet she is never fearful of being candid with her clients.
This has served her well throughout her career in supporting companies, organizations, and their leaders in the
greater Cincinnati and northern Kentucky area. She has a proven track record of measurable results in
philanthropy and fundraising throughout her career. In her consulting practice, she works with C-Suite
executives in support of effective governance, strategic planning, retreats, philanthropic strategies, proper
revenue streams for sustainability, executive recruitment and more.
Understanding the complexity of today’s nonprofit environment has occupied Ms. Maxfield’s life for many
years. She has extended her education beyond university (BA from Northern Kentucky University) to include
nonprofit executive leadership training at University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana; coaching and
training for professional image enhancement; advanced consultative selling training (SalesAbility); and
numerous workshops to strengthen her skills and knowledge in various business disciplines.
Maxfield launched her nonprofit consulting business in July of 2013 and has worked with 84 nonprofit
organizations in five states. She has boundless energy and a drive to solve business challenges. In addition, her
vast network of contacts and service to the community (boards, tasks forces, and committees in the greater
Cincinnati area for over 25 years) positions her well to help nonprofit organizations advance their mission.
Maxfield is a voracious reader, a prolific traveler, loves gardening, walking, crocheting, cooking, and being
with family and friends.
