Streamlining Governance Practices

Jun 19, 2023

Christine Deska

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Christine Deska. The two talk about how NSS streamlines the efficiency and resources of the nonprofit sector, and the long term impact of building a great team in your business and at home.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How she found the pain point for nonprofits that started her company

  • How NSS helps to streamline efficiency, organization, and resources

  • What direction they are going, and what she sees as their needs in expansion

  • How Christine juggles running a business and parenting, while networking and doing business development & implementation

  • What she sees as their vision for the future, and how she keeps her finger on the pulse of what her community needs

  • Surprises, lessons, and rewards along the way

Christine Deska is the President of Nonprofit Sector Strategies (NSS), a public benefit corporation she co-founded in 2017 that is dedicated to helping nonprofits maximize mission impact. NSS provides strategic planning and board management services to small and medium-sized nonprofits. 

NSS has also created Belles Board, a board management cloud-based software solution, portal and mobile app that helps nonprofit boards increase efficiency and engagement at an affordable price point. 

Christine brings 15+ years of in-depth experience working in, and with, nonprofit organizations, foundations and the government–including the NYS Assembly, AARP and the Columbus Citizens Foundation. She is a frequent contributor and presenter at various conferences and webinars on nonprofit board building, board engagement and strategic planning. 

Christine is the Board President of the Nonprofit Resource Hub, a trade association dedicated to providing valuable education, resources, and services to the nonprofit sector. Christine also sits on the board of Hunger Solutions New York and serves as the Co-Chair of the Nonprofit Committee at the Queens Chamber of Commerce. 

Christine received a BA in Communications from Manhattan College and an MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurship from the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College. 

When she’s not working or chasing after her two daughters, Annabelle (5) and Bianca (3), she is trying to make it through a soccer game without getting hurt!
