My Nonprofit Reviews

As a graduate student in nonprofit management, I wanted to intern with an organization whose operations were of the highest caliber of professionalism, and I haven't been disappointed in any way with my experience at OEC.

A key element of professionalism, I think, is a focus on impact. It's easy--and dangerous--for staff to concentrate instead on internal operational efficiency and to lose sight of the bigger picture. But, maybe because it has such a passionate leadership team, staff at OEC do a pretty good job of keeping their daily activities aligned with the production of real-world results.

I'm involved with OEC's strategic planning effort right now, and it's inspiring to see the board in action--a great group of smart, passionate, and connected people. I'm looking forward to seeing the course they chart in the final plan, but I've already learned a lot from the process itself, and it's confirmed my sense that this really is a great nonprofit.
