Examples of situations where VCG's help was needed include:

"MOUSE - Founded to help young children with developmental disabilities, this institution was now addressing the issue of teenagers being adequately prepared to find employment in a technologically driven economy.  However, the board was essentially composed of the founding group of parents.  VCG helped them redesign their board with business advisors who could provide both expertise and information about training and employment opportunities."

"Surviving The Retirement Of A Founder - An organization dedicated to educational innovation was confronted with the retirement of its founder (whose tenure was over thirty years) as well as a major shift in the composition of its board.  VCG worked with the organization to define a board structure that would allow them to grow the organization.  VCG also brought two new board members to the organization - a senior executive from a technology firm and a senior manager from one of the big six accounting firms."

"Losing Public Support - After many years of providing government-funded employment training and job placement for its targeted population--highly motivated disadvantaged youth--this organization needed to rebuild its financial base and evaluate its program deliverables.  VCG was asked to facilitate the board's self-assessment of its role in resource development and strategic planning in this changed climate."
