About

I love nonprofit organizations. With almost 30 years of senior/exec level nonprofit and foundation experience, I truly enjoy creating systems and structures that allow purpose driven organizations and committed people to be their best. Professional passions include: developing and facilitating employee and constituent engagement programs, working with stakeholders to create philanthropic strategy, building decentralized networks, facilitating participatory grantmaking processes, and nonprofit fundraising, finance, operations & compliance. I am a student of emergence, i.e. what becomes possible when we stop trying to control everything and instead focus on creating the conditions for magic to happen.
