Mission, Vision & Goals
At BQN Consulting we are driven by a vision of organizational, cultural, societal and economic transformation. The kind of transformation that creates broad-based and lasting social justice.
Our work rests on the premise that fully inclusive and networked organizations and movements that collaborate and share a common vision are poised to make movements move!
BQN is led by Lisbeth Melendez Rivera and Lisa Weiner-Mahfuz. Together they have a decades long commitment to movement and organization building, multi-faith organizing and feeding the movement! BQN Consulting is a unique practice in that it integrates our catering business with our organizational development and faith based organizing and facilitation work. Not only can we help to support your organization in tackling its biggest developmental questions (mind), we can also provide catering for your meetings and retreats (body) and facilitate spirit rooted and multi-faith convenings (soul).
BQN Consulting is the culmination of three decades of consulting work led by Lisbeth Melendez Rivera and Lisa Weiner-Mahfuz. We are community organizers, trainers and capacity builders who have worked nationally and internationally across almost every movement for social justice. From the the labor and LGBTQ+ to reproductive justice and multi-faith movements, BQN Consulting has the experience to support your organization or coalition.
BQN Consulting is not your typical consulting practice! We are a thinking, building and doing practice! We think about community based issues in complex and intentional ways, we build political power and strong organizations that represent the full breadth and depth of the communities they serve and we do this by rolling up our sleeves and working with clients who are engaged in meaningful organizational transformation and movement building.
BQN Consulting has a strong commitment to collaboration. As a result, we specialize in bringing together some of the best minds in the worlds of community organizing and capacity building to offer our clients innovative approaches to organization and movement building.
