Andy Macmannis is a Chief Strategy Officer at Collective Action for Education. He possess expertise in teaching, leadership, social media, research, community outreach and 15 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I supervised Andy at Sheep Pasture Nature Camp for two consecutive summers. I can strongly attest to his creativity, enthusiasm, leadership skills and professionalism. Rather than merely following the traditional curriculum and activities, Andy always sought to create new crafts, hikes, outdoor games and, most importantly, songs. Each night hike, Andy brought his guitar and students would gather around to sing the songs that Andy wrote about nature and the camp. Although Andy has not worked at the camp for a number of years, I hear that his songs and activities are still a strong part of the camp tradition. Andy's initiative to contribute to the curriculum was always coupled with his willingness to take leadership roles in the operation of the camp. I would often choose Andy to lead whole camp activities. I appreciated Andy's professionalism with parents and other co-workers. Andy never let the informal setting of a nature camp affect parent communication or his responsibilities as a camp counselor. Andy was consistently the "favorite counselor" on the feedback forms from children and parents. Certainly, his big smile and contagious laugh made even the most hesitant campers feel at ease and excited about whatever Andy had up his sleeve. I would strongly recommend Andy for any endeavor he may undertake. He is the type of person who will go one step further and I am confident that he will do so with creativity, enthusiasm and a big smile." and "Andy has done an incredible job as an intern with our organization. He is very intelligent, extremely hard-working, and creative. He is able to move forward well on projects independently. He has been working with our organization for almost a year and I would highly recommend him to any employer!"
