Jim Woodard

Minister of Rhetoric

Jim “Skip” Woodard, Minister of Rhetoric, and also the Principal for James Woodard Consulting, provides education consulting, independent project and event management, content authoring, copyediting, and grant writing technical assistance to clients throughout New England. As a Minister, Jim is often called upon to provide contextual insight related to education industry clientele. He has also written web and print content, and collaborated in multiple branding teams.

Jim has worked extensively with nonprofit and education-related agencies in Boston, Providence, and throughout Vermont, both as senior management staff and as an independent contractor. He has been featured on Vermont Public Radio and in the AIGA Boston Journal, and was the Managing Editor for Wellspring, a quarterly publication focused on sex-positive health promotion and life skills building for people living with HIV/AIDS. 

Jim earned a BA in Psychology and English at the University of Massachusetts, Boston and pursued doctoral graduate work at the Massachusetts School for Professional Psychology.

Since 2005, Jim has been living in northern Vermont with a bunch of cats, a sweet view of the mountains, and a scary Tyto alba in his woods. When he’s not glued to his MacBook, he spends as much time as possible outside in the snow, or tinkering with his old convertible.
