SENTAC came to Affinity Strategies wanting to establish a more sustainable and stable community infrastructure. To do this, we first established a strategic, long-term goal: improving the financial management and governance structure. 

We then used a number of tactics to achieve the ultimate goal:

• Conducted a situation analysis of the current governance structure and financial control mechanisms, and determined that the structure needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.
• A new governance model was developed and implemented with an updated board of directors, committees, and staff members that had more diverse sets of experiences and backgrounds.
• Training was provided to enhance their leadership and governance skills.
• Built a more sustainable financial model, including revenue diversification and cost-cutting measures. 
• New fundraising campaigns were executed that brought in much needed grants and industry partnerships.

As a result, SENTAC saw: 

• Doubled revenues within the first year by adding new industry partners and sponsors.
• Significantly increased revenues from event and membership revenues.
• A revitalized and sustainable association due to new governance and financial management procedures.
