My guest for this episode is Brian Quail. Brian is the founder and CEO of Quail Consulting, which focuses on guiding nonprofit CEOs and boards to achieve exceptional results. His nonprofit career spanned four decades, including twenty-five years serving as CEO of three affiliates of national organizations: Heart of Florida United Way, American Red Cross Louisville Area Chapter, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. Combined, his fundraising, oversight, analysis, and development efforts throughout his professional life have resulted in over one billion dollars in human services funding.
Born in Clinton and raised in neighboring Sterling, Massachusetts, Brian attributes his discipline and integrity to his hard-working blue-collar parents. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, he went on to the University of Chicago, where he earned his MA in nonprofit administration and management in 1984.
Since 2009, he and his wonderful wife, Liz, have called Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home. There he enjoys spending time with their amazing daughter, Chloe, running his consulting and speaking services, volunteering, fitness training, playing golf, and attending sporting events.
