A Year of Impact A message from the CEO & Founder
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to share the accomplishments of New Sector Alliance over the past year as we pursued our mission of strengthening organizations today while developing leaders for tomorrow. We are delighted by how quickly and deeply our impact grows as we continue to build our network of talented individual and institutional innovators in the field of social change.
In the past year, we served over sixty different client organizations. Some organizations sought to expand their reach by replicating or launching a program, some to harness the power of a targeted marketing campaign, others to improve their internal operations, and still others to measure their impact on the communities they serve. In each case, we matched a unique organizational culture with the right talent to achieve the desired results. Our clients worked with teams of MBA consultants, with recently graduated young professionals, and with outstanding undergraduates. With the support of knowledgeable staff and professional consultant volunteers, New Sector teams and talent completed 99 projects that allowed high-performing organizations to better serve their constituents.
In 2008 we concluded the first year of our extremely successful Residency in Social Enterprise program, ran yet another highly competitive Summer Fellows program, and partnered with top business schools and consulting firms to recruit strong teams to serve and strengthen local organizations. We also undertook several of our own strategic initiatives; we proudly welcomed Sarah Perry as Managing Director, and we designed our New Sector Mini-MBA curriculum in partnership with faculty from Harvard Business School. We also joined two important movements in the field of social change by partnering with America Forward and by becoming a signing member of Massachusetts Commonwealth Compact. You can read more about these developments in the following pages.
As we look forward to the challenges that lie ahead in this undeniably difficult economy, we appreciate even more the support of our friends. There is still much work to be done, and our goal of maximizing the impact of social change efforts will be even more important in the coming year.
With warm regards,
Carlin B. Janson
CEO & Founder, New Sector Alliance, Inc.

In 2008, ACCESS Boston hosted Bridget Kelly who was a member of the inaugural New Sector Residency in Social Enterprise class. Seeking to ensure consistent and accurate communication, Executive Director Bob Giannino-Racine looked to New Sector to help strengthen the organization’s marketing efforts. Over the course of the year, the New Sector Resident at ACCESS Boston designed and implemented an organization-wide communications strategy, overseeing the redesign of the website and creating communications standards, enabling clearer and more consistent messaging in the promotion of ACCESS Boston’s work and mission.

Strengthening Organizations Clients and AmeriCorps Host Sites
Throughout 2008, New Sector worked with over 60 different organizations to complete 99 projects ranging from developing earned income streams to reducing organizational carbon footprints. Seeking to rebuild cost models and create targeted branding strategies, organizations such as Year Up and Boys and Girls Clubs engaged consulting teams to advance their mission through critical strategic projects. Additionally, client organizations hosted 64 individual AmeriCorps Members in total, aged 20-29, who strengthened capacity by completing projects that improved communications, streamlined performance measurement, applied new technology and launched new initiatives. 100% of our 2008 clients would recommend New Sector’s programs to a colleague, proving our unique ability to match any organization with the talent needed to take impact to the next level.

“I am absolutely thrilled to remain a part of the New Sector family and I wish to be as engaged as possible (whether through recruiting future talent or other vehicles) while at Brown Medical School. I'm definitely going to miss the New Sector staff and the other Residents! “
- Vinay Kampalath, Resident in Social Enterprise, The Medical Foundation, 2008
“It was wonderful to have a network of people interested in social enterprise and the nonprofit world -- it was a huge benefit to have started my professional life with this kind of network and the support that it provided. That alone is reason enough to participate in a New Sector program.”
- Divya Vohra, Resident in Social Enterprise, Prize4Life, 2008

connections “Working with both New Sector and Year Up not only
gave me the opportunity to expand upon accomplishments that I previously had in education and nonprofit organizations, but provided me with the very critical reflective, creative, and collaborative space and
support that I needed in order to nurture my own entrepreneurial ideas into a viable business model.”
-Zahra Majeed, Resident in Social Enterprise, Year Up, 2008
Sustaining Impact Networks and Partnerships for the Future
10
Nick Richardson is in his fourth month as Executive Director of Year Up’s Providence office. As he reflects on what he hopes to accomplish in his tenure, he admits, “I’d like to be successful. But I’m not sure I can say that yet. This is a really hard job and it challenges you on so many levels.”
Luckily, Nick has a few experiences under his belt that will help him rise to his newest challenge. One of those experiences was during the summer of 2007 when Nick participated in the New Sector Summer Consultant program. After finishing his first year at Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, Nick came across the New Sector project while speaking with Year Up founder Gerald Chertavian. As a result of Gerald’s referral, Nick spent the summer under the mentorship of two New Sector consultant coaches, working independently on a national expansion strategy for Year Up.
“My New Sector consultant coaches were able to turn it from an interesting experience at a nonprofit to a real learning experience in strategy. They were so good at being able to pull out teaching and tear things apart in really constructive ways—it was fantastic. I could have done some of the work without the structure and support of New Sector, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as rich. And I wouldn’t have been able to get as far. As a result, the framework that I created and the ways of thinking about expansion strategy that we came up with that summer are what Year Up is using now as we go forward,” says Nick.
With several years of nonprofit work experience prior to entering business school, Nick found himself in the minority among his classmates. He was well-versed in the social sector but he “needed exposure to hardcore business skills and a cohort of folks who would really challenge [him].” During his experience as a Summer Consultant, Nick found the New Sector training engaging: “It complemented what I was getting in business school. It was a toolbox. Things that you could do to maximize your time. I was able to keep working and moving forward and not get stuck on the project. It was a sign that the New Sector support structures were really good. “
And what tools will Nick use to face the challenges that lie ahead? “I’m inspired by the challenges that we face. There’s just not fairness in this world. We aren’t getting the opportunities to the people who can make best use of them. Our Year Up students have nothing but talent, drive, energy, and they have just been dealt a really tough hand... they are my inspiration every day.”
New Partnerships 2008
New Sector is now a proud member of the America Forward Coalition. Since America Forward exists to create the conditions in which leaders from across sectors and at all levels work with social entrepreneurs to help solve our country’s most pressing domestic problems, it was a natural partnership from the start and one that New Sector looks forward to participating in actively for years to come.
The America Forward coalition includes more than 70 results-oriented, entrepreneurial nonprofit organizations. The objectives are two-fold: 1) to introduce social entrepreneurship into the national dialogue, helping to fuel a discussion about new, more effective ways to solve domestic problems; and 2) to advance a policy agenda that will create an infrastructure for social entrepreneurs and government to act together to scale the impact of solutions that work.
Alumni Spotlight: Nick Richardson
New Sector is honored to be a signing member of the Commonwealth Compact, a project organized by three of Boston's civic and business leaders, and supported by several dozen others. It aims to make Greater Boston a desired destination for people of color, immigrants, and women, in the belief that their contributions will be vital to the region's social and economic future. Steve Crosby, Dean of the McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, is convening the effort, and New Sector joins all members of the Compact in acknowledging Boston’s mixed history in this effort. As a group, we will face squarely the challenges that still need to be overcome, understanding that the rich promise of the region's growing diversity must be tapped fully if Boston and Massachusetts are to achieve their economic, civic and social potential.

“Our New Sector Fellow, Jason, went above and beyond his internship role this summer. As a direct result, a program that we had originally intended to be in a one-
building pilot stage this fall is now expanding daily and will likely include 8 to 12 buildings during the first year, far surpassing the success of other programs.”

Developing Leaders Students and young professionals
Attracting and Inspiring the Next Generation Over the course of the past year, New Sector connected 139 talented students and young professionals with structured opportunities to learn about, engage with, and design solutions for pressing issues facing organizations at work in our communities. MBA students, young professionals, and current undergraduates were recruited by New Sector from over 50 of the top colleges and universities across the country and carefully matched with organizations to maximize impact. Over 90% of the inaugural Corps of
Residents in Social Enterprise considered themselves adequately equipped to be lifelong social change agents after participating in the New Sector program.

New Sector Mini-MBA for Social Change
“The skills I learned through these trainings will be transferable to other positions that I take, and they are among the most important things that New Sector has provided. The idea of applying business and management principles to the nonprofit sector is something that has really grabbed my interest throughout the year. The year has given me faith in the idea that nonprofits can operate efficiently and with high levels of impact by applying business principles but still maintaining a level of flexibility that is inherent in nonprofit organizations.”
- Liz Tanefis, Resident in Social Enterprise at The Medical Foundation, 2008
After soliciting continuous feedback from participants in the inaugural Corps of our Residency in Social Enterprise program, we undertook a comprehensive redesign of the New Sector year-long training curriculum. A former AmeriCorps VISTA at New Sector and recent graduate of Harvard Business School (HBS) and Harvard Kennedy School, Shannon Music Gamboa spent this past summer on a Social Impact Fellowship from the Boston Consulting Group, working with HBS faculty and leading social enterprise practitioners to cull the best teachings from the first-year MBA program and tailor them for use in the social sector. The result is New Sector’s “Mini-MBA for Social Change,” a 12-unit Residency in Social Enterprise curriculum which will equip young leaders with the tools and techniques necessary to understand, create, and improve social change efforts in organizations across sectors. New Sector Residents now participate in an intensive three-week kick-off, biweekly workshops, peer-facilitated small-group Learning Teams, and a dedicated post-service wrap-up and reflection session.

In 2008, New Sector worked with over 80 professionals from various professional services firms to ensure the success of each of our engagements by creating a dialogue between sectors. This year, we continued to rely on the expert oversight, advisory services, and professional guidance from our volunteers to strengthen the recommendations and streamline the implementation that our student teams and young professionals spearheaded at client organizations. Our projects offered opportunities for professionals of all skill-levels: junior-level professionals were able to take on more senior-level leadership roles, while our veteran professionals enjoyed the opportunity to develop the next generation of leaders while applying their knowledge and expertise to the social sector.

Developing Leaders Students and young professionals
Attracting and Inspiring the Next Generation Over the course of the past year, New Sector connected 139 talented students and young professionals with structured opportunities to learn about, engage with, and design solutions for pressing issues facing organizations at work in our communities. MBA students, young professionals, and current undergraduates were recruited by New Sector from over 50 of the top colleges and universities across the country and carefully matched with organizations to maximize impact. Over 90% of the inaugural Corps of
Residents in Social Enterprise considered themselves adequately equipped to be lifelong social change agents after participating in the New Sector program.

New Sector Mini-MBA for Social Change
“The skills I learned through these trainings will be transferable to other positions that I take, and they are among the most important things that New Sector has provided. The idea of applying business and management principles to the nonprofit sector is something that has really grabbed my interest throughout the year. The year has given me faith in the idea that nonprofits can operate efficiently and with high levels of impact by applying business principles but still maintaining a level of flexibility that is inherent in nonprofit organizations.”
- Liz Tanefis, Resident in Social Enterprise at The Medical Foundation, 2008
After soliciting continuous feedback from participants in the inaugural Corps of our Residency in Social Enterprise program, we undertook a comprehensive redesign of the New Sector year-long training curriculum. A former AmeriCorps VISTA at New Sector and recent graduate of Harvard Business School (HBS) and Harvard Kennedy School, Shannon Music Gamboa spent this past summer on a Social Impact Fellowship from the Boston Consulting Group, working with HBS faculty and leading social enterprise practitioners to cull the best teachings from the first-year MBA program and tailor them for use in the social sector. The result is New Sector’s “Mini-MBA for Social Change,” a 12-unit Residency in Social Enterprise curriculum which will equip young leaders with the tools and techniques necessary to understand, create, and improve social change efforts in organizations across sectors. New Sector Residents now participate in an intensive three-week kick-off, biweekly workshops, peer-facilitated small-group Learning Teams, and a dedicated post-service wrap-up and reflection session.

Sustaining Impact Networks and Partnerships for the Future

Nick Richardson is in his fourth month as Executive Director of Year Up’s Providence office. As he reflects on what he hopes to accomplish in his tenure, he admits, “I’d like to be successful. But I’m not sure I can say that yet. This is a really hard job and it challenges you on so many levels.”
Luckily, Nick has a few experiences under his belt that will help him rise to his newest challenge. One of those experiences was during the summer of 2007 when Nick participated in the New Sector Summer Consultant program. After finishing his first year at Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, Nick came across the New Sector project while speaking with Year Up founder Gerald Chertavian. As a result of Gerald’s referral, Nick spent the summer under the mentorship of two New Sector consultant coaches, working independently on a national expansion strategy for Year Up.
“My New Sector consultant coaches were able to turn it from an interesting experience at a nonprofit to a real learning experience in strategy. They were so good at being able to pull out teaching and tear things apart in really constructive ways—it was fantastic. I could have done some of the work without the structure and support of New Sector, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as rich. And I wouldn’t have been able to get as far. As a result, the framework that I created and the ways of thinking about expansion strategy that we came up with that summer are what Year Up is using now as we go forward,” says Nick.
With several years of nonprofit work experience prior to entering business school, Nick found himself in the minority among his classmates. He was well-versed in the social sector but he “needed exposure to hardcore business skills and a cohort of folks who would really challenge [him].” During his experience as a Summer Consultant, Nick found the New Sector training engaging: “It complemented what I was getting in business school. It was a toolbox. Things that you could do to maximize your time. I was able to keep working and moving forward and not get stuck on the project. It was a sign that the New Sector support structures were really good. “
And what tools will Nick use to face the challenges that lie ahead? “I’m inspired by the challenges that we face. There’s just not fairness in this world. We aren’t getting the opportunities to the people who can make best use of them. Our Year Up students have nothing but talent, drive, energy, and they have just been dealt a really tough hand... they are my inspiration every day.”
New Partnerships 2008
New Sector is now a proud member of the America Forward Coalition. Since America Forward exists to create the conditions in which leaders from across sectors and at all levels work with social entrepreneurs to help solve our country’s most pressing domestic problems, it was a natural partnership from the start and one that New Sector looks forward to participating in actively for years to come.
The America Forward coalition includes more than 70 results-oriented, entrepreneurial nonprofit organizations. The objectives are two-fold: 1) to introduce social entrepreneurship into the national dialogue, helping to fuel a discussion about new, more effective ways to solve domestic problems; and 2) to advance a policy agenda that will create an infrastructure for social entrepreneurs and government to act together to scale the impact of solutions that work.
Alumni Spotlight: Nick Richardson
New Sector is honored to be a signing member of the Commonwealth Compact, a project organized by three of Boston's civic and business leaders, and supported by several dozen others. It aims to make Greater Boston a desired destination for people of color, immigrants, and women, in the belief that their contributions will be vital to the region's social and economic future. Steve Crosby, Dean of the McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, is convening the effort, and New Sector joins all members of the Compact in acknowledging Boston’s mixed history in this effort. As a group, we will face squarely the challenges that still need to be overcome, understanding that the rich promise of the region's growing diversity must be tapped fully if Boston and Massachusetts are to achieve their economic, civic and social potential.

“Our New Sector Fellow, Jason, went above and beyond his internship role this summer. As a direct result, a program that we had originally intended to be in a one-

A Year of Impact A message from the CEO & Founder
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to share the accomplishments of New Sector Alliance over the past year as we pursued our mission of strengthening organizations today while developing leaders for tomorrow. We are delighted by how quickly and deeply our impact grows as we continue to build our network of talented individual and institutional innovators in the field of social change.
In the past year, we served over sixty different client organizations. Some organizations sought to expand their reach by replicating or launching a program, some to harness the power of a targeted marketing campaign, others to improve their internal operations, and still others to measure their impact on the communities they serve. In each case, we matched a unique organizational culture with the right talent to achieve the desired results. Our clients worked with teams of MBA consultants, with recently graduated young professionals, and with outstanding undergraduates. With the support of knowledgeable staff and professional consultant volunteers, New Sector teams and talent completed 99 projects that allowed high-performing organizations to better serve their constituents.
In 2008 we concluded the first year of our extremely successful Residency in Social Enterprise program, ran yet another highly competitive Summer Fellows program, and partnered with top business schools and consulting firms to recruit strong teams to serve and strengthen local organizations. We also undertook several of our own strategic initiatives; we proudly welcomed Sarah Perry as Managing Director, and we designed our New Sector Mini-MBA curriculum in partnership with faculty from Harvard Business School. We also joined two important movements in the field of social change by partnering with America Forward and by becoming a signing member of Massachusetts Commonwealth Compact. You can read more about these developments in the following pages.
As we look forward to the challenges that lie ahead in this undeniably difficult economy, we appreciate even more the support of our friends. There is still much work to be done, and our goal of maximizing the impact of social change efforts will be even more important in the coming year.
With warm regards,
Carlin B. Janson
