Michele said yes!

When Allison and I started the Alvarez Porter Group in 2009 our vision was to create a community of social justice Organization Development practitioners who could do good work with great organizations while learning from and supporting each other. After eight years, it feels good to look around and see that that is what we’ve done.

Michele Berry, Senior Partner

We are proud to announce Michele Berry is a full partner in the Alvarez Porter Group. Michele brings a background in the private sector and startup world that is extremely valuable. She is a team builder and a warm and skillful facilitator. Michele has been a major contributor in the past four years, and we are thrilled she agreed to join us in this new role. She is a working mom and active in her Dayton, Ohio community in support of racial justice and turning Ohio blue again. See her blog on “What inspires me now.”

Ana is on board!

We are also thrilled that Ana Polanco is now an associate partner in the Alvarez Porter Group. Ana’s background with LCLAA, UNITE, and Amnesty International and starting her own company grounds her work and informs her insights. She is talented strategist and facilitator and a highly skilled and compassionate coach. We strongly recommend you attend her June 10 seminar on “Coaching Skills for Transformation” in NYC or invite her to run a coaching class for your staff.
