ABOUT SENECA CONSULTING
Seneca Consulting was founded on the belief that legacy and leadership go hand in hand.
Our name is influenced by, Seneca Village, a resilient 19th-century African American community in Manhattan, New York whose legacy of determination prevails.
Today, we carry that legacy forward, designing governance systems and diversity frameworks that empower institutions to thrive with integrity.
