Background

About Brett Mandel

My career has been focused on making mission-oriented organizations deliver results for citizens and stakeholders. I link policy to people as a dot connector, a communicator, and a problem solver. I excel at making positive change in challenging environments where governance and accountability and engagement matter. As a consultant, I create strategic partnerships with public and private entities; advise on matters of nonprofit governance; author business plans and policy briefs; and develop and articulate practical solutions for commercial, nonprofit, and public-sector clients. As a writer, I focus my efforts on governmental accountability and public finance - and an occasional baseball piece. Partner at - step up to the plate like a big leaguer with our patented baseball-bat-handle BBQ tools and accessories! Read:"Minor Players, Major Dreams,"(University of Nebraska Press).
