Christine Howard Mentor

I am the owner of E.B. Howard Consulting (EBHC), a 100% Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). EBHC is a consulting firm that provides full-service development for a variety of organizations across the nation.

I have worked with a wide-range of organizations, which includes non-profits, foundations, community-based organizations, school districts, colleges & universities, small businesses (including start-ups), well as municipalities. You can see more about the services I provide and my background at www.ebhoward.com

I have successfully completed over $60M in funded grant applications and have over 10 years of experience working with the grant programs of federal, state, and local agencies. Throughout my 10 years, I have gained experience in the development of program resources, grant proposal development, designing evidence-based programming and activities, monitoring the implementation of those programs, evaluation, and providing feedback for continuous program improvement.

I really like working with other business that is in the start-up phase or just wanting to do better as an organization in either their systems, approach, methodology. I am a big tech-wonk and love to work with organizations that have a technology or innovative approach to technology-based applications and systems, or even grassroots organizations.

If a business owner needs a sounding board, struggles with gender-based barriers, staffing, contracting, when to make that leap as an entrepreneur, a friendly voice in the field of crazy, or work-life balance concerns... I am the person to talk with; I have been there. I am happy to meet up for coffee if located in the Buffalo/Niagara area.
