Ann Gaudard Weeby possesses expertise in nonprofits, public speaking, leadership, event planning, community outreach and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Ann has been an amazing supervisor and mentor because of her tenacity and genuine interest in my professional growth. She continuously pushed me to perform at levels that exceeded grant and program requirements, but allowed me the freedom and autonomy to discover how to most effectively do my job. She consistently encouraged me to learn, engage and step out of my comfort zone, which has been the key element to my success in this role. I remember when first coming to Goodwill’s VIP Program, Ann had organized training and planned a condensed “crash course” to better help acclimate me to the position and company environment. Strategically, this was a vital decision as the lessons I learned in those few weeks still resonate with me today. Our team cohesion came effortlessly and I attribute that to her professionalism and open-mindedness. She values my feedback, acknowledges when processes can be improved and implements plans based on discussions within a team environment. Ann is not afraid of failure; she uses these experiences as learning opportunities to advance. I can only hope to work with someone like Ann in the future. " and "Ann is the type of team leader I have have always wanted to be! Take a group of military Veterans, all type "A" personality people, throw them at a project with our countries top Congressional leaders and see what happens. Ann took this challenge in stride and made me feel like a key player in all decisions we made as a team. I would work with Ann on any team or challenge now or in the future, she is my vision of what this country needs for leadership today."
