Our Mission

The mission of Salter McNeil & Associates LLC (SMA) is to train interculturally competent leaders and to transform colleges, churches, seminaries and organizations into communities of reconciliation.

The company is organized around five core values, which collectively serve as a blueprint and guideline for the business practices of SMA.

The core values of SMA are:

COLLABORATION

Salter McNeil & Associates, LLC approaches the reconciliation process as a collaborative one. We recognize that each client is unique and we view each consultancy as a dialogue with the client in order to develop and implement a plan towards reconciliation that is consistent with the community in which the client operates.

EXCELLENCE

Salter McNeil & Associates, LLC endeavors to maintain the highest level of excellence in every aspect of the services we provide to our clients. From speaking to consulting to training it is our goal and expectation that our clients’ experience is consistently excellent.

SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY

A keen ability of discernment is what distinguishes Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil and the entire team at SMA. Dr. Salter McNeil and her team have the unique ability of assessing the spiritual environment, understanding the needs of the people and facilitating a powerful, spiritual experience so that true reconciliation can occur.

TEAMWORK

Salter McNeil & Associates, LLC (SMA) employs an intentional team approach when working with a client. One person cannot achieve reconciliation within an organization; it must be facilitated in the context of community. In order for reconciliation to be real, people must be doing it together.

SMA models diversity by working as a team and creating teams within organizations to carry out the work of reconciliation.

AUTHENTICITY

Salter McNeil & Associates, LLC (SMA) believes strongly that authenticity is a key component of reconciliation. Accordingly, as an organization, SMA is the first partaker of the strategies and principles it espouses to other institutions and organizations. The staff at SMA is diverse and those connected with SMA are committed to the ideals of diversity professionally and personally.
