I Love Working with Nonprofits

“As Nonprofit organizations emerge from 2020, they are reexamining their structure, programs, impact, and the metrics they use to determine success.”

Nonprofits are the emotional glue of a community. The organizations that exist to promote justice in every form offer members of our communities to have a sense of security, stability, self-sufficiency, and hope.

In 2021, we have emerged together from cultural, health, and systemic challenges with a range of uncertainties. But we have a common mandate: to recover and fully exercise the capabilities and promises that will allow our organizations to give full service to those who depend so heavily on us.

For 25 years, I worked as a staff member, Board member, Board Chair, Director, and finally Executive Director of organizations that offered creative responses to community needs. Now, as a consultant, I relish the chance to work with non-profits that will see their employees, their Boards, and their volunteers as gifts and as tools to be used to lift their client communities.

Please contact me if you are ready to take energetic, optimistic steps forward.
