I have 25 years experience in the non-profit sector as an educator, program manager, trainer/facilitator, fundraiser, and general capacity-builder. I have served in positions ranging from running the day-to-day operations of busy and productive organization to establishing a strategic vision focused on organizational expansion to editing a monthly forestry publication with a readership of 3000. I have experience hiring and supervising staff, managing company finances and and revenue/invoice generation, building and maintaining customer/member relationships, conducting accounts payables, and using technology to strengthen the effectiveness of board members, volunteers, and employees. As consultant for my firm Positive Force Consulting I work with dozens of community-based organizations and small communities to help them move closer toward fulfilling their mission, meeting their goals, and making a difference in the world. My background in organizational capacity-building and program development and management allows me to work with diverse groups of people around a common focus to foster collaborative efforts that increase community and regional sustainability. My leadership style focuses on strengthening relationships and building trust among a broad scope of stakeholders with the aim of increasing mutual understanding around seemingly intractable community development issues, especially environmental protection.Specialties: Fundraising, Program Development, Research and Report Writing, Campaign Organizing, Organizational Development, Event Planning, Promotional material development, Volunteer Coordination,
