<br />Staley Consulting
<br />As the lead administrator of a Park and Recreation District for 16 years I closely participated in the redevelopment of the
<br />district as well as the entire community in the aftermath of a disastrous flood of 1997 where partnership development became
<br />the norm of the community in its resettlement. The district built an Arnold Palmer golf course, a national ranked greenway,
<br />Japanese gardens, a state of the art Health and Fitness center that is also national ranked. All of these projects required not
<br />only strategic partnership development but a great deal of private fund raising as well. (Fund raising is often considered the
<br />forming of private -public partnerships.) Each of these projects was built without raising local taxes.
<br />I have since retired as the director of the Grand Forks Park District and work as a fund raising consultant, as well as, a professor
<br />at the University of North Dakota. I recently helped raised the funds necessary for an ice arena expansion in Minot North
<br />Dakota and have current contracts in Park River, ND and Watford City, ND. At the University of North Dakota I include
<br />partnership development, and fund raising in the classes that I teach on the administration of nonprofit and government
<br />organizations.
