About

Doug Green currently divides his time between training and consulting with nonprofit leaders across the country and teaching English to seniors at a high school in Jacksonville, Florida. His consulting is informed by diverse experiences with nonprofits and organizations in times of great change. In the 1980s S&L crisis, he supported the first modern interstate banking mergers with financial analysis. He also led an AIDS services organization during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and has been a consultant to nonprofits during the Great Recession and its uneven recovery. Doug thrives on challenges (thus, the relatively new teaching role at a Title I high school). He enjoys partnering with clients on multifaceted projects that draw on his range of skills in communication, analysis, and group facilitation.
