Through JLG Coaching and Consulting, Jenifer strengthens boards of directors and leadership teams for mission impact. Drawing on decades of experience and a national network of top consultants, she brings in-depth research, data, and hands-on work with hundreds of nonprofit organizations across the globe — always with the individualized attention each client deserves.

Jenifer is relational and strategic in equal measure; those that know her best characterize her as thoughtful, insightful, and reliable. She consults on subjects that matter: governance, sustainability, race equity, and the quiet courage it takes to lead something you believe in. Armed with more than two decades inside the work — as an executive, co-founder, facilitator, and coach — Jenifer doesn’t offer easy answers. She offers accompaniment.

A contributing author to Putting Purpose First: Nonprofit Board Leadership Today, she also co-founded New York City’s Alliance for Community Enhancement (ACE) and helped publish Harlem Treasures, a neighborhood guidebook that remains a love letter to that community. Her clients have included PEAK Grantmaking, the Impact-Driven Philanthropy Collaborative, the National Center for Family Philanthropy, Ronald McDonald House Charities, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, YMCA of the USA, and several family foundations. She has guest lectured at Georgetown University and serves on the boards of Mental Health America and The Restoration Center, Inc., where she is immediate past Chair.

Based in the greater Washington, DC area, Jenifer takes a stand for what becomes possible when people work beyond boundaries in co-creation with others.
