30 years of experience in non-profit association management in small organizations means I’ve worn many hats.In addition to non-profit experience, I also spent 14 years focused primarily on my first passion - politics. I’ve stood on the marble tiles of several State Capitols and pitched a point of view, done some public speaking and negotiated the finer points of amendments to legislation. I’ve managed a $5 million budget and it is tied to a strategic plan that is a living, breathing document and not something that is written and forgotten. The strategic goals are also tied to employee goals, performance measures and compensation. Managing investments is a key component to managing finances. I've been lucky enough to work for an organization that has a substantial reserve account. I worked with investment advisors to develop an asset class allocation, performance benchmarks for both the funds and the advisors.Are you familiar with the alphabet soup that is human resources jargon? FLSA, COBRA, HRA, HSA, ACA and CDHP? I know what they are and how to administer them. All have been a part of my daily routine as an HR generalist for up to 38 employees. I have planned meetings for groups as small as 5 and as many as 700 people and have the gray hair to prove it. My political science degree didn’t prepare me to manage architects, designers, contractors, real estate brokers and commercial movers to build out and move into commercial office space, but I’ve done that, too. Three times.If you need it to be researched, analyzed, organized and completed on time, consider it done. You know people like me are needed in this world to make the trains run on time. The thing that surprises people about me? I am an avid NASCAR fan and have been to eleven race tracks around the US to follow the sport. I can also claim attendance at football games in 15 of the 18 Big Ten stadiums (had them all before the 2024 expansion!). If it involves food or wine, I'll watch it, read about it, try it and once in a while, actually cook it. I’ve also been lucky enough to travel the world and see some beautiful sights.
