Blair’s Resume
 

In this section you will find some letters of people saying some nice things about me and the work I have done with them. In addition, there is a copy of a Best Practice Study that was conducted by a Masters Student from Canada who was looking into the success that stemmed from the time I spent working in Botswana instilling business thinking into a new NGO. Feel free to click on any document to see it in full.

“Blair has been a pro-active member of the project team throughout the period that I have worked with him. He is very active and energetic in meetings, often bringing new ideas and innovation to the table, and ensuring partners are accountable for their deliverables. Blair interacts easily with people from all levels- from volunteers in grassroots organizations based in the remote areas of the country, to Government officials to the US Ambassador.” Dr. Alison Brown
“..he transformed the organization from being a one-person volunteer run organization into a fully staffed, sustainable organization that is being held up as a national model for NGO coalitions to be replicated in other areas of Botswana.” Philip Landon
“Blair is a strategic thinker and has the ability to create momentum and focus on the projects he is leading. His past experience as an executive coach and his deep knowledge of business process combine to make him a valuable leader for any project.” Gary Pelotshwe
“The transformation that NCONGO underwent is important to analyze so that the lessons learned can be transformed to other emerging NGOs in the developing world. Relationship building, a shared vision with clear objectives, innovative solutions in the face of scarce resource, business principles and a dedicated staff were some of the building blacks that have elevated NCONGO to the respected position in Ngamiland, Botswana and Internationally. A new generation o NGOs which utilize sound business practices that promote sustainability are influencing the donor world and shaping the future o how NGOs are run.” Masters Paper entitled: Best Practices Organizational Development: Blair Henry at Ngamiland C0uncil of NGOs.
“Blair possesses a diverse repertoire of functional competencies rarely found in a single individual. There range from critical thinking and analysis, creative writing, inter-personal communications/networking, resource mobilization, program design and project management, advanced participatory methodologies and ITC..... Blair is indeed a proven change maker and long after he is gone, the people of Maun will remember his as one who contributed significantly to their social capital. I therefore recommend him for work with any organization of his choosing.” Tiego Mph0
