Lynne Harwell Algrant Leadership Consultant Bergen LEADS lhalgrant@bergenleads.org

Lynne Harwell Algrant is the founder of H 10 A Consulting, a practice focused on issues of leadership and effectiveness, primarily in the non profit sector. She is currently working with a number of clients, including Social Solutions, Inc, DeLaSalle Academy (NYC), Nueva Luz Urban Resource Center, the Youth Empowerment Mission, and Breakthrough New York.

Lynne spent more than 15 years in independent school education, then a move to Cleveland shifted her career in a new direction. As Program Manager of The Cleveland Executive Fellowship—a Coro Program for The Cleveland Foundation, Lynne worked with eight full-time, mid-career Fellows who were interested in shifting their careers to other realms within the civic arena. The Fellowship’s focus was on training innovative problem-solvers who were comfortable in the non-profit, public and private sectors. The intersection of these sectors and the potential for improvement in all sectors through collaboration is a growing interest of Lynne’s.

One area where she has pursued this new interest is in the area of the Fire Service. After reading a disturbing article about the challenges of diversity in the Cleveland Fire Department, Lynne wrote to the Chief and began a series of conversations and research. She has developed a curriculum to train the newly promoted Lieutenants in issues of management and leadership and she is working on a program to train all the Cleveland Fire Department officers in leadership and communication skills. In addition, she is helping the International Association of Black Professional Fire Fighters with their strategic planning.
