Issue

Taking a start-up from good idea to viable enterprise requires a wide range of skills and sound organizational management, strategy, and relationship-building to build credibility within the marketplace.

Millennia’s Approach

Millennia provided an Interim Executive Director who used her expertise in management and in the industry to engage the right stakeholders and build a presence in the marketplace. Through Millennia's leadership, members were recruited to serve on a board, funds were raised, and services were implemented. After facilitating LAVCA's successful launch, Millennia assisted in the recruitment, hiring, and training of a full-time Executive Director.

Client Benefit

LAVCA is now an established association with 30 members, including many of the industry's leading players. The website and monthly e-newsletter provide ongoing sources of information on the industry. Networking and educational programs are being delivered and research initiatives are underway. Close to $1,000,000 in grants and sponsorship was raised in addition to member dues revenue.

The LAVCA case study is an example of Millennia's Board Development and Organizational Planning services.
