People Tree: Community Consultant Directory

Our primary objective is to create awareness of the services of consultants who are currently doing work for the communities. This directory may prove useful for finding independent consultants for the Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) program, the Technical Assistance for Public Participation (TAPP) program, or similar programs. To help you identify which experts are likely to be able to help you, we list with each consultant the technologies she/he is most familiar with as well as other areas of specialty.

We don't guarantee that these consultants can offer the assistance you need. The only way to find out is for you to contact them directly and ask questions. The Community Consultant Directory is not an endorsement of the consultants listed. It is a guide, not a final decision-making tool for your search. Due to privacy issues we are unable to list consultant references on this site. If you are considering the services of any consultant in this directory, please ask her/him for 'community' references.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Community Consultant Directory or would like to recommend a consultant be added, please feel free to contact CPEO at 650-961-8918 or e-mail us at cpeo@cpeo.org. If you are a consultant who normally provides technical assistance to community groups, please e-mail your information to cpeo@cpeo.org.
