Bessie
E. Swann & Associates, LLC is a women and minority-owned
national consulting firm specializing in nonprofit management
and community and economic development. Our company was founded
based on the simple principle that in order to build a community
of choice, one had to build the capacity of its leaders. With
over 30 years of combined experience, we have seen over and
over again that it is that building of capacity alone that determines
the success or failure of an organization’s ability to
carry out its objectives.
OUR
MISSION
Based
in Washington, D.C., our mission at Bessie
E. Swann & Associates,
LLC
is to provide personal and individualized technical support
and training in the areas of nonprofit management in community
and economic development settings. We strive to empower our
clients with the skills and knowledge necessary: (1) to develop,
build and maintain organizational, structural and programmatic
capacity; and (2) to effectively and efficiently assume full
responsibility for the successful implementation and administration
of their individual goals and objectives.
Our practice and approach focuses on principles of utmost integrity,
openness and developing a strong professional and interpersonal
relationship with each and every client we serve. We encourage
our clients to take ownership of the planning and development
process. It is only through inclusiveness, collaboration, and
participation of the clients that we can effectively transfer
valuable skills.
