The best part of my job is working with volunteers. I help them define their goals, make smart choices, and achieve their vision for their organization. Members join because they’re passionate about an organization. They bring endless enthusiasm, great ideas, and strong values – but not necessarily the skills to accomplish their goals. I'm excited about their goals, too, and I have the skills that fill the empty slots in their toolboxes. Together we can build a strong, vibrant organization. My skills include strategic planning, administration, budgeting, communications, marketing, membership growth, education programming, community development and leadership. I’m also the person you send in when the building’s on fire, and you don’t know how or when it started, or what it will take to put it out. I evaluate difficult situations, red budgets, and failing programs; formulate long-term, data-supported plans with my team and volunteers; win buy-in; and move an organization forward. If it’s not a challenge, it’s not fun.
