Message from the President
 
It's an exciting time for everyone here at The INS Group. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new website, which offers a fresh redesign and showcases our expanded consulting work and partnerships with nonprofits, faith-based institutions, and government agencies nationwide. 

In recent months, our work supporting nonprofit agencies has taken The INS Group to Virginia, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. We've conducted strategic planning and other consulting work for an incredible range of organizations and coalitions that support filmmakers, prevent gang violence, and enhance childcare-serving organizations' capacity to collaboratively address the needs of children.

In addition, in the last year, The INS Group has secured continued contracts with the U.S. Department of Labor -Office of Apprenticeship and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for projects with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Office of Grants Management Systems (OGMS).

Our team is energized by the opportunity to help grow the capacity of organizations and agencies conducting life-changing work throughout this country. We look forward to hearing from you regarding your organizational needs in 2018! 

Warmest regards,

Ruth A. Peebles 
President, The INS Group
