Our Committment

“At Langlois Consultant Services, we exist to empower nonprofits and mission-driven organizations to lead with clarity, plan with purpose, and grow sustainably—because when leaders thrive, communities do too.” – Ray Langlois, Founder and Principal

a personal note from ray

I started Langlois Consultant Services in 2017 with a clear mission: to help nonprofits and mission-driven leaders not just stay afloat—but thrive. After 33 years in public education, serving as a principal and district leader, I saw how strong leadership, clear strategy, and genuine partnership could drive real change. That’s the heart of the work I do today.

Based in Cedar Park, I’ve spent years walking alongside organizations across Central Texas—facilitating retreats, coaching leaders, and helping boards navigate key transitions. My approach is steady, collaborative, and grounded in real-world experience.

Guided by faith and committed to service, I bring those principles into every aspect of my work and life.

Outside of consulting, I’m a proud husband and father, a 4th Degree Knight of Columbus, and an active community member. Whether I’m on the golf course, fishing with friends, or supporting local causes, service is part of who I am.

At the core, I believe leadership is about lifting others up—and I’m honored to support those who serve.
