What Alinea takes off your plate
How it works
“Carissa is the kind of person you always want on your team. She anticipates needs, keeps projects moving, and follows through. Beyond all of that, she’s fun to work with.”
A strong fit for chambers, nonprofits, associations, small to mid-size companies, women-owned and minority-led businesses, and fast-growing start-ups.
Stronger governance. More effective leadership.
Sound familiar? Meetings that run long and decide little. Directors who aren’t sure of their role. Tension between the board and the CEO. Committees that exist on paper only.
Alinea helps board chairs, CEOs and executive directors fix what’s getting in the way, as a one-time project or ongoing support.
Track recordRan a 60+ member board with 9 committees and six subsidiary boards, and as Chair and President of the IAAP Foundation, led its board and its CEO’s annual review. Favorite boards: nonprofit, association and chamber of commerce.
A trusted partner for the tough calls, the bigger role and the next big step.
Coaching draws on What’s Mine to Own, a method Alinea teaches for sorting what’s mine to own, what’s mine to influence, and what’s mine not to carry, so you can protect your energy and focus where you make the greatest impact.
What’s mine to own?
My preparation · My perspective · My voice · My response · My next move.
