George Safford spent most of his career working with, in, and for nonprofit organizations. The University of Illinois at Chicago was one such venue. Credit unions - board member of two credit unions, CEO of one. Field consultant for the Illinois trade association for credit unions, was another long-term commitment of George's. 20+ years as a sole proprietor of his own consulting firm, George led hundreds of clients through
strategic planning sessions. All clients were nonprofits. Financial analysis, consumer financial services and nonprofit agencies are all on George's radar. He has learned that focus, critical thinking and strategic planning serves boards and management teams very well. Large or small, every organization needs well-defined mission and vision statements.

They not only tell the world what they intend to do, but the value of why they do it. Meanwhile these two statements pull boards and management teams into the future they want consistent with their values.
