Founded on nearly 20 years in the field, not just in theory
Batchelor Advisory Group is a consulting practice founded by Mariellen and Steve Batchelor, built on nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in workforce development, community-facing services and organizational operations. We help the people inside your organization build practical, lasting solutions, not just a diagnostic report that sits on a shelf.
We believe organizations don't grow themselves. People do. That belief shapes everything we do, from how we run an evaluation to how we hand off the systems we build, so your team can carry them forward.
