NYC Commissioner Mattingly Gives His Vision

ONLINE BULLETIN
Four Major Commitments for Improving Child Care
At a well-attended March 26 reception at the National Arts Club, hosted by NESC’s Government/Education,
Social Services, and Healthcare Sectors, Commissioner of the Administration
of Children Services John Mattingly presented his vision of the responsibilities
of the ACS. Commissioner Mattingly supervises a staff of 7,000 people with an
annual budget of $2.5 billion. Its mission is to protect needy children in New York City
and investigate abuse and neglect of those in foster care.
Mattingly, who has been Commissioner since 2004, stressed the four major commitments
of the Administration of Children Services as follows: (1) no child should suffer alone
from abuse or neglect; (2) every family who wants or needs help should receive it; (3)
every child served should develop both mentally and physically; and (4) no child who
comes into foster care should leave without a loving and caring family.
Our guest speaker explained his vision of improving the welfare of needy children and
the serious challenges of drugs and abuse faced by many teenagers in the child care
John Mattingly
administration. In the Q&A session, Mattingly admitted that the family courts in NYC
often take 6–12 months to resolve behavioral problems, considerably longer than similar
cases are handled in Los Angeles or Chicago. Notwithstanding these frustrations, he is encouraged by the improvements
in children’s services that his administration has achieved in the last four years.

VOLUME 3, ISSUE 2
NESC Serves As a Model for
Argentine Consultants for Nonprofits
New Affiliate to Be Launched in Miami, Florida
Page 2
At the invitation of Marvin Berenblum, Chairman and CEO of NESC, four founding members of APORTES in Buenos
Aires met recently with the officers and senior staff of the National Executive Service Corps in New York. The
Argentine consulting organization was founded in 2006 to provide management advice on a pro-bono basis for
nonprofits in the greater Buenos Aires area.
APORTES is the first such organization in Argentina, a country that does not yet have a fully developed tradition of
volunteerism. It selects the clients that it feels that its consultants have the expertise to serve effectively. All consultants
have a minimum of fifteen years of management experience. Like its U.S. mentor, the Argentine consultants
have a strong desire to give back their knowledge to the community. Most of the consultants are either retired
or semi-retired with management experience in the for-profit sector.
Guests from Buenos Aires included David Stilerman, President, and Directors Fredy Cameo, Federico Elizalde,
and Jorge Mandelbaum. At NESC’s monthly regional meeting on May 7, Berenblum stated, “We are
propagating our mission not only by adding a new affiliate in Miami, but also by entering the international arena
with a similar organization in Buenos Aires.”

The NESC is launching a new affiliate in Miami with a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Stan
Levy, a long-standing NESC consultant from Rockland County, New York, is on the Board of Directors of the new
Miami affiliate along with Harvey Stuart Traison, another snowbird from New York. Steve Wilson, a retired financial
executive, will serve as Executive Director.
Mr. Traison attended the NESC Regional Meeting in New York on May 7. He stated that the Miami affiliate is seeking
a diversified Board that will reflect the population base of southeastern Florida. David Sanchez, a local resident
and fellow Board member, is assisting him in this effort.
We are interested in identifying any other NESC consultants who winter in Florida who may wish to offer their
skills to support the newest ESC affiliate. They are urged to contact Steve Wilson, the new Executive Director, at

New Jersey Region
A New Service for Princeton Seniors with Help
from NESC Consultants
Many of us are familiar with nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and possibly senior citizen housing, but a
partnership of the Jewish Family and Children’s Service (JFCS) of Greater Mercer County (N.J.) and the National
Executive Service Corps (NESC) in the Princeton area may revolutionize the way couples and individuals age in
their own homes.
Secure@Home TM , organized in 2007 with NESC’s assistance, is designed to help Princeton area-seniors aged 60
and older live safer, healthier, and more independent lives in their own homes. The organization, now open to
the entire community, has about 150 members who receive a large share of their essential healthcare services
through the organization.
Among the services is a full assessment of each member’s health and healthcare needs, around-the-clock emergency
phone service, coordination with healthcare providers and family members, help from a “chore corps” to
assist with light household tasks, a list of healthcare vendors available locally, discounted local transit, and referrals
to local physicians and healthcare services.
The Princeton organization is an outgrowth of a similar nonprofit, a virtual retirement community formed in Boston’s
Beacon Hill neighborhood several years ago. “It helps make living at home, regardless of age, a safe, comfortable,
cost-effective and practical solution,” according to Jill Jaclin, Secure@Home’s Director.
The NESC team, headed by Hugo Golin of Edison, Director of Management Consulting, and consultants Henry
Weiss of Titusville and Michael Fenster of Hillsborough, helped JFCS lay the foundation for a business plan and
a marketing program to appeal to the target market.
“The NESC people really helped us think things through,” explained Jill Jaclin. “In truth, I don’t know if we could
have had the program up and running last year without their help.”
“Like any new project of this kind,” said Fenster, “this Secure@Home project is especially complicated and
challenging to bring to maturity. Still, I’m impressed with the leadership and the commitment by The Jewish
Family and Children’s Services to make this enterprise succeed.”

Hartford Foundation for Public Giving and
NESC Collaborating on Leadership Development Circles

Elaine McDonald, who heads the Central Connecticut region, reports that NESC developed a leadership enhancement
program with the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving in 2003. The nine-month program conducted
in alternate years is composed of Executive Directors selected by the Foundation. During the monthly sessions,
Executive Directors engage in a peer-to-peer session, exchanging feedback to help each other achieve their
respective goals. Elaine believes this leadership program has been highly effective in enhancing the leadership
skills and productivity of the participants. NESC–Central CT will conduct two Leadership Development Cir-
Peter Daboul Joins NESC’s Roster of Consultants
Elaine McDonald is pleased to announce that Peter Daboul has joined the ranks of NESC–Central CT. Peter
spent a number of years working for Mass Mutual, advancing to Executive Vice President and Chief Information
Officer. Since retiring, he has been teaching at Western New England College, where he is an Executive in Residence.
Peter has consulted for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations, specializing in information technology,
strategic planning, and management organization. He also serves on boards of a community foundation,
regional employment office, and the Massachusetts Career Development Institute. His background and skills
should be of great value in serving NESC clients in the greater Hartford area.

opportunities to apply the skills they
acquired during their working careers
to benefit the nonprofit organizations
they seek to serve.
In addition, more and more corporations,
law, accounting, and for-profit
consulting firms are encouraging
their employees to volunteer in nonprofits
of their choice, on company
time. This trend will continue and
may accelerate, as these organizations
increasingly understand the
important role they play in improving
the communities where their
retired, current, and future employees
live. They want to be responsible
corporate citizens.
NESC is well positioned to take advantage
of these important trends,
forming mutually productive partnerships
with corporate America.
We seek opportunities to attract,
train, and deploy these skilled and
experienced executives to serve our
nonprofit clients. NESC has been
working in the nonprofit communities
in the tri-state region for over 30
years, serving some 2,000 nonprofit
clients, many of them repeatedly.
We are well positioned to help ma-
