Process

When you contact ESC the Executive Director or Project Director will speak with you about your needs and your organization. We can recommends ESC services or give you a referral to other services.

If consulting or coaching services are needed, you will be asked to fill out a Request for Assistance form, A meeting is set up so the Executive Director and the coach or consultants to learn more about your organizational culture and the issues you are hoping to address.

The Consulting or Coaching Contract: The Executive Director sets the project fee, using our slide scale fee schedule. The fee is based on your organization's budget size and the number of hours ESC expects to spend. This information, along with the statement of work and timeline, is placed in a contract agreement to be reviewed and finalized with the client.

Once the contract has been signed by both organizations, the consulting team moves into the action of assisting the clients needs. Most projects move through a process that includes data gathering from the client, analysis by the consultants, preliminary conclusions presented to the client, and writing and presentation of a final report to the client.

If there is more than one consultant, a lead consultant assumes responsibility for timely completion of the project and communication and coordination with the ESC Executive Director or Project Director. 

A project evaluation is sent to the client after completion of the project. This results are shared with the consulting team with permission from the client. 

To become a client, please fill out our Request for Assistance form, or contact Nancy Long at execdir@escwa.org or by phone at (206) 682-6704.
