Turning public health strategy into results that reach communities.
Appointed Visions Consulting helps government agencies, health organizations, and nonprofits turn strategy into action — through stronger organizational performance, cross-sector partnerships, and program execution grounded in real federal and public health experience.
direct partnerships, working in tandem across sectors
Built for the organizations doing the work on the ground.
From federal agencies to neighborhood nonprofits, from established institutions to early-stage startups — if your work serves the public, we work with you.
Four areas we lead with. One specialty available when you need it.
Every engagement draws on strategy, partnerships, and grant expertise built across two decades in the field — not theory borrowed from outside the sector.
Strategic Planning & Organizational Performance
Strategic planning, program design, performance management, operational improvement, and change management for organizations ready to move from vision to execution.
Cross-Sector Partnerships & Stakeholder Engagement
Partnership strategy, stakeholder mapping, and coalition-building across government, healthcare, and nonprofit lines — the work of connecting people who don't usually sit at the same table.
Federal Grant Strategy & Compliance
Grant strategy, budget alignment, and performance reporting from someone who has reviewed applications and negotiated funding from the funder's side of the table.
Community Engagement & Impact
Community-centered engagement woven directly into strategy and partnership work — not a separate add-on, but how every engagement gets delivered.
Emergency Preparedness & Continuity Planning
Continuity planning, readiness assessments, and exercise design, informed by direct experience leading ESF-8 operations during COVID-19 and large-scale public events. Available for organizations that need it — not part of every engagement.
A straightforward process, built for organizations that need real progress, not more meetings.
Understand where things stand
A grounded look at your current strategy, partnerships, or program performance — what's working, what isn't, and what's realistic to fix first.
Build the plan together
A roadmap built with your team and stakeholders, not handed down — so the people who have to carry it out actually helped shape it.
Execute and measure
Hands-on implementation support with clear measures of progress, so you know the work is landing — not just that it happened.
Led by a strategist who has managed the funding, not just chased it.
Natasha Dixon, MPH
Appointed Visions came from a simple belief: organizations serving their communities shouldn't be held back by a lack of tools, partnerships, or resources. My goal is to connect proven experience with the people already doing the work — through training, planning, new partnerships, or restructuring what's already in place — so the help actually lands.
Nearly 20 years in public health have taught me the value of using every resource available to complete the mission. AVC identifies what's working, names what isn't, and builds the strategy to take your efforts further.
That perspective comes from experience across healthcare, government, community organizations, and more — including oversight of budgets and grant portfolios upward of $350 million.
