My professional focus has always been to build synergy between community-based programs, donors (public and private) and to promote program mission and vision. The goal is for relationships of trust and confidence with clients, volunteers and constituent groups while promoting teamwork among staff to ensure successful operational goals and objectives. I have worked professionally in the state of Michigan and Georgia.
My professional experiences include senior leader in state government, nonprofit programs, and business development. I have served as an independent contractor with small to mid-size nonprofits in the areas of Board Governance and Leadership, Volunteer Management, Fundraising Development and Programs. I am a skilled facilitator with the ability to engage volunteers and staff in advocacy and community engagement.
Partnership is important in leadership! I believe in the engagement of all stakeholders with reasonable goals that are monitored on a regular basis. Fiscal prudence is based upon strategic planning with both staff and Board of Directors. I strongly believe in keeping Board members and staff engaged in the support of operational goals and objectives.
My fundraising experiences include individual and major gift programs as well as capital campaigns. I have coached both volunteers and staff in the engagement of outreach activities to support mission-based programs. My work experiences include leadership of public/government, private and faith communities.
I am a trained Diversity Facilitator.
