About Beth Trigg
Beth grew up in the Southern Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina and has worked with organizations and communities in WNC for more than 20 years. Grounded in a deep commitment to equity and social justice, Beth works with organizations, collaboratives, and movements to build capacity, create consensus, mobilize resources, and develop strategy.
As a facilitator, Beth offers structure and space for groups to build power, hone skills, and create the change that they envision together. Beth's approach to working with clients is open, participatory, collaborative, and creative. With roots in popular education, anti-oppression organizing, and formal and informal consensus process, Beth draws on a lifetime of experience as a participant in movements and organizations. Beth is a mother and a gardener and her work is informed by her connection to the natural world and her community of activists, artists, community builders, culture workers, caregivers, farmers, family, and friends.
Beth brings to her consulting practice deep experience with organizational capacity-building, organizational development, group facilitation, participatory planning, and fund development planning. Working in partnership with organizations, funders, and collaboratives Beth creates caring, collaborative, adaptive facilitation of collective strategy and organizational change.
Beth has worked at every level of nonprofit organizations: as a staff member, as a board member, as a volunteer, and as a consultant, with organizations from the smallest, most grassroots level up to the scale of larger international organizations. She is intimately familiar with the challenges and rewards of working in the nonprofit environment -- too often feeling under-resourced, under-staffed, and over-worked, yet full of passionate and committed people capable of amazing things.
Beth honed her skills as a facilitator by participating in grassroots and community-based organizations and by training formally as a facilitator with Training for Change (Training for Social Action Trainers) and with stone circles at the Stone House (Facilitation for Transformative Social Change and Advanced Training for Trainers) and Leadership that Works (Coaching for Transformation). She incorporates participatory approaches and popular education tools into her facilitation work, and is trained in and experienced with formal consensus decision-making and other participatory methods.
Having been active in her community and in movements for social, economic, and environmental justice over the past 20+ years, Beth brings a strong commitment to social change and collaborative, participatory process.
"I believe in the power of pooled resources -- energy, time, talent, and money -- to change our communities and our world for the better. I love working with grassroots groups of people coming together to make change, to meet community needs, and to advocate for more just and sustainable systems."
