Why I Love This Work
I believe in the power of strong teams when they are aligned to common goals and equipped with the right skills and tools. I love connecting with everyone from the coordinators and gift processors to board treasurers and executive directors to build knowledge and best practices for achieving big results. Only in non-profit work do so many disciplines work together on solving societal challenges and building organizational strength under such pressure and constraints, which leads to amazing wins and progress.
