Let’s Work Together
Advisory Organizations are a crucial partner to The Salvation Army’s mission.
That’s why The Zumaya Group partnered with The Salvation Army to create the Advisory Organizations (AO) Hub, a collection of resources to help you develop and mobilize your best possible Advisory Organization.
Want to unlock the full potential of the AO Hub and amplify The Salvation Army’s impact in your community today?
Here’s What We Offer
Advisory Board Retreats
Our board retreats are highly structured, facilitator-led experiences designed to move boards from alignment to action. Through tailored pre-work, engaging facilitation, and practical frameworks, we help boards clarify roles, strengthen culture, and align around clear priorities. Your advisory board’s time is too valuable for another passive retreat. Let’s design a retreat that drives the mission forward.
Speaking Engagements
Joey Zumaya brings a unique perspective to every speaking engagement. Combining personal testimony, board leadership experience, and a deep understanding of the Army’s mission and structure. His talks inspire officers, board members donors, and community leaders to recommit to their role, strengthen local mission, and move from good intentions to faithful action. Invite Joey to your next event to spark clarity, conviction, and renewed commitment to serving others.
Advisory Organizations development
We partner with The Salvation Army to strengthen Advisory Organizations through AOD strategy, strategic planning, and practical workshops. We help officers and board leaders gain clarity, align around priorities, and build Advisory Organizations that provide consistent support for the local mission. If your command is ready to strengthen its Advisory Organization and move forward with purpose, connect with us and begin the next step together.
