About Me

John E. Bauer Consulting, LLC, is a practice I established for the purpose of providing support and resources to chief executive officers and boards of directors of nonprofit organizations. My entire 40 year career was spent in the nonprofit world and I have experienced life on both sides of the board room table – as the chairman of numerous local, regional and national boards of directors, but also as the president and chief executive officer of a large, national human service organization serving people with developmental disabilities.
