Curtis Group Expands Services

Hampton Roads, Va. - February 5, 2010 - “I’m happy to announce that The Curtis Group has added strategic planning and facilitation of retreats to the services we offer nonprofits,” said company president Keith Curtis, a board member of Giving USA Foundation.

The Curtis Group, a Virginia Beach-based fundraising consulting firm, has formed a strategic alliance with BJ Taylor, an expert in these services. Well-known throughout Virginia, Taylor has more than 25 years’ experience helping nonprofits realize their potential and reach their organizational goals.

“We’ve always been impressed with BJ’s work,” Curtis explained, “and for years we’ ve referred nonprofits that needed these services to her. But as more of our clients began asking us for help with strategic planning and leadership retreats, we realized that these services are strongly tied to the board development training and other work we were already doing with them.”

Taylor’s nonprofit clients have included The Portsmouth Partnership, Downtown Norfolk Council, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), The Noblemen, Adoptions from the Heart, Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, and various churches throughout southeastern Virginia. She’s now working with The Curtis Group on strategic planning for EQUI-KIDS Therapeutic Riding Program.

Taylor has a proven track record of developing strong leadership and management teams, including nonprofits boards. She does this by helping the team discover where each individual contributes to the organization’s success, teaching them how to set standards and monitor their achievements, and helping them provide for each component of effective management practice. 

“I’m delighted to be working with The Curtis Group,” Taylor said. “Keith and I both believe that my services will strongly complement the good work this team is already known for.”
