Brent Rivard
Chairman
Big Brothers/Big Sisters of San Diego County

The Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BBBS) is a non-profit organization who, like many others, has been forced to change the way we operate in significant ways recently. Our board had the need to refine and clarify our strategy for the coming years. Michael was able to design and facilitate a process whereby our board could rapidly and pragmatically share ideas and come to a focus that will prove incredibly valuable for the communities we serve. Brainard Strategy has partnered with our organization for a couple of engagements and has donated their expertise to help us in very valuable ways. We have appreciated their professional services support and our staff and board have very much appreciated their expertise, customer service and willingness to support our organization.

President, CEO
Big Brothers/Big Sisters of San Diego County

Big Brothers Big Sisters is delighted to welcome Michael Brainard to its Board of Directors. Michael has been an incredible facilitator for the past few years to help our organization become more laser focused on setting strong realizable agency goals and objectives. Short term results of his guidance include our agency doubling the number of potential Big Brother candidates in 2013; which means many of the hundreds of boys waiting an average of 18 months for a Big Brother will get a Big Brother will wait no more. Michael’s commitment as a Board Member is to use all his talents to continue moving children off our waiting list. He believes all children who need and want caring adults in their lives should have them.
