Program And Membership Manager
CurrentBlue Sky Funders Forum is a funders collaborative that exists to inspire and increase philanthropic investments and the community of funders supporting equitable access to meaningful outdoor experiences and connections to nature.As the Program Manager, I lead Blue Sky's communications and membership services, oversee our programs and events, and provide project management support and direction for Blue Sky's initiatives. Highlights:- During a year-long leadership transition, I was the only Blue Sky employee. I reported to the board, making recommendations for key priorities during this time. I delivered key programs and events; applied for and reported on grants; retained 93% of members; directed our annual budgeting process; developed and maintained relationships with funders, field leaders, and affinity groups; and led member onboarding and ongoing engagement. - Spearhead Blue Sky's use of Salesforce and implement a strategic action plan for member and prospect member engagement. - Currently overseeing Blue Sky's website redesign and refresh; close collaboration with Giant Rabbit, a web developer to better serve our community through our website. - Initiate annual membership survey in close collaboration with Hunter-Kemper Consulting. In 2022, during a leadership transition, I successfully increased the response rate by 10% through enhanced outreach.
