Beth Bordeaux, MSW

Focus on Community Organizations
Beth Bordeaux, MSW, President and Founder of GTM Evaluation & Planning, Inc. and formerly president of Bordeaux Consulting, Inc. has served for two decades across public, private and nonprofit sectors, planning and evaluating human service programs in North Carolina. She carries a total of 20 years of experience working in a Social Work capacity, initially providing case management and education in public health and mental health settings and later working to develop and reform service systems through community development, quality management, system assessment and planning responses.

As Quality Management Director for The Durham Center (Durham County Mental Health Local Management Entity), she constructed the Quality Management Department after the state-wide service system reform in 2004. And, she reconstructed the Information Technology department to offer a streamlined data-driven approach at all levels of decision making within the organization. Beth developed and implemented a Quality Improvement planning and reporting system, the first of its kind in the state, enhancing care and support for individuals with developmental disabilities and those battling mental illnesses and addictions.  

Beth has worked to develop and evaluate other North Carolina service systems including:

  • Smart Start's State-wide Early Childhood Initiative
  • Durham County's Collaborative Substance Abuse Services 10-Year Plan
  • The Mental Health Systems Transformation Project developing fidelity-driven Evidence Based Practices for Durham County consumers
  • Numerous local Smart Start projects, assessments and planning initiatives related to child care quality, workforce, family support, and services for children with special needs
  • Martin Community College planning efforts and developing infrastructure for institutional effectiveness

"Much of my work over the past decade has been in program evaluation and planning. I have a passion for the use of data in decision making - in other words, planning decisions should be grounded in information that can then be measured and reassessed over time. This requires intentional listening, studying the information at hand and asking questions before you sit at the table to begin planning." ~ Beth Bordeaux

Focus on Faith Communities
With a master's degree in Social Work from UNC-Chapel Hill, Beth also has specialized training in congregational development, conflict management, emotional intelligence, Anglican polity and theological studies in Old and New Testaments.

Beginning in 2002, Beth served as the Welcome Minister for The Prince of Peace Episcopal Church in Apex, NC during a time just after the congregation moved into a new worship space and the average Sunday attendance increased three-fold. As a leader in this congregation she facilitated the implementation of new membership software and development of ministries to welcome and engage individuals into the life and activities of the parish. Beth has led group discernment processes to design and implement ministries for pastoral care, small groups, reaching out and caring for new members, middle and senior high youth ministries and internal communications. She has worked at the diocesan and local congregational level facilitating planning and ministry review processes, leading retreats and leadership seminars and assisting with overall congregational development.

"As I began a personal discernment of vocation and ministry, feeling drawn to serve God in the church, I pursued theological studies and possible ordination. However, through close examination and prayer, I discovered a merging of my past experience with my current path in serving the church as a lay person, through consulting, training, and coaching. GTM Evaluation & Planning, Inc. has created for me a balance in Christian service where the passions of my life, my profession and vocation, my talents and skills are all given for the purpose of ministry - in dedication to the church and the community." ~ Beth Bordeaux
