About Ewald Consulting
Serving at the intersection of business, government and society to improve industries and professions
We strive to be difference makers as consultative experts in our field. We provide the resources for our clients to be difference makers in their profession/industry. We create the means for associations to empower each member to be a difference maker in their work.
Founded in 1982 by former Minnesota state legislator Doug Ewald, Ewald Consulting has grown to include departmental teams of specialists in each area of association management corresponding to the needs of our clients. The company provides management and public/media relations support to state, national, and international organizations. Ewald Consulting serves organizations in all stages of existence from start-up to mature.
For nearly 40 years, Ewald Consulting has offered a breadth and depth of services that help our clients to advance their operations to the next level. As we develop a strong relationship with our clients, and as they discover the strengths of our staff and resources, the scope of our work expands seamlessly to meet their growing needs.
