IS YOUR ASSOCIATION RESILIENT?
Your association deserves not only to survive but to thrive!
A FEW THINGS ARE LIKELY HAPPENING:
You're feeling like you are stuck in a rut
You're feeling disconnected from your board
Your membership is more ROI-focused than ever
You're reacting, firefighting, holding your breath
Your association's passion and purpose are fleeting
You don't know how to fix it
IT’S TIME TO
lean in
Larimar Strategies can help light your path. Let’s find the way, and build a stronger association – together.
Do you feel the need to come up for air?
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
Big or small, associations and not for profits experience the same roadblocks and issues along the way.
Balancing board interests, association leadership and team needs and membership RoI is as much an art as it is a science.

PLANNING, ENGAGEMENT
Clarity.
Our leadership team at Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), embarked on a complete overhaul of our strategic planning and business planning processes. We had a lot of work to do and had a lot of change to manage. Larimar Strategies was the perfect business partner.
It was important to me that our entire staff came along for the ride, was engaged in a meaningful way, and could get behind our new way of planning and working together. The step-by-step plan mapped out by Larimar allowed us to go deep and gain greater focus.
I’m a big fan of not only Larimar’s work, but their approach. They tailored their efforts to FPAC’s unique needs and they have set our team up nicely to do some great things in the years ahead.

Larimar Strategies are not only excellent planning facilitators with a unique visual style of facilitation, they also have excellent instincts for keeping participants focused, creative, and engaged on the collective goal. I’ve been very happy with their work over the years on strategic and operational planning, project management, workplace culture, and other facilitated sessions involving volunteers and staff.

We recently worked with Natalia and Jenn in the development of our strategic plan. Due to their bottom up, inclusive and collaborative approach, we were able to produce a clear and meaningful plan. I particularly liked their ability to integrate resource requirements (human/financial/time) into the planning and objective development process. It was clear that Natalia and Jen took the time to understand our business and by doing so, they were able to provide effective insights and support. They are both warm and courteous, with in-depth experience in working alongside associations and not for profits. I would gladly recommend them their services.

I have had the privilege of working with Jennifer and Natalia over the past three years guiding us through strategic and operational planning. I’m always amazed at how they are able to visually organize, energize and inspire our team to build our capacity to do better. I’m confident that any organization, from a small non-profit just starting out to a well-established high performing team, could stand to benefit from Larimar’s leadership and approach.

During the excellent strategic planning process, as a first step, Larimar helped the PAAB to reflect inward to face the reality of what the organization had become. Then they skillfully helped us to set goals for the future and we envisioned a path to get there. We thank Larimar for guiding us through a successful planning process.
