to Build Organizational Capacity: Take a look at Consultants Directories such as the NY & NJ Consultants Directory at www.ResourceDevelopmentNetwork.com/directory and the TA Clearinghouse Directory at www.taclearinghouse.org. Alert! Although these directories contain some of the finest consultants in the region, the Resource Development Network cannot guarantee the quality or qualifications of the consultants listed in these directories; they are not reviewed or screened. You need to interview candidates in depth. Get samples of previous work. Ask for a consultant's list of past clients and peruse it for an agency where someone you know works--and then give your friend a call. Check references. Additionally,some consultants are required to be registered with the state attorney general's office. Do your homework to ensure you select the best consultant for your needs. 4/03 |
