Welcome to Cooper Consulting!
I'm Stephanie Cooper, and I'm glad you're here. If you're a nonprofit leader or board member, chances are you know the weight of the work and so do I.
I know what it's like to sit in the CEO's chair at a nonprofit — the pressure, the tough calls, the balancing act. I started Cooper Consulting Services to help other nonprofit leaders and boards navigate that same terrain with more confidence and less guesswork.
With over two decades of C-suite experience as a nonprofit CEO, and as a licensed social worker, I bring a rare combination of strategic expertise and lived understanding to every engagement. I help organizations strengthen executive and board leadership through board governance training, fractional CEO support, executive coaching, and strategic planning.
