Why I Joined the Community Foundation

She directs all Foundation communications and events targeting donors, prospects, grantees, scholars and partners. She sets and executes communications strategy, goals, tactics and performance metrics in support of the Foundation’s impact and fundraising goals and oversees four talented teammates.
