Board Service: Giving Back
Board service is where strategy and mission meet. As a thought partner to the organizations I serve, I help boards hold fiduciary responsibility and mission in productive tension. This is the balance that makes bold, impactful work possible.
The organizations with which I’ve been privileged to work reflect the commitments that have shaped my career, and remain an ongoing source of learning in partnership with dedicated leaders and their teams.
