As a consultant to Clean Energy Works I advised on strategic direction, designed and implemented operations systems from finance and administration, technology infrastructure, communications to data management. I built and maintained partnerships with key stakeholders from industry associations to community based and grassroots organizations working to remove existing barriers to inclusion for low- and moderate-income communities who want access to clean energy technologies such as energy efficiency upgrades for buildings, solar, or clean transit.

Data systems included our membership management system, a custom instance of NGP VAN (a MyVoter and MyCampaign hybrid), the Catalist M and QTools, QuickBase for custom field reporting systems, NationalField (eventually acquired by NGP VAN), Salsa, MobileCommons, and Action Network. My responsibilities included devising business rules and integration systems, managing data systems vendors’ services from RFP to implementation to termination of contracts; advising and assisting implementation of research and polling projects; handling vendor relationships for data operations development, analytics products, field reporting systems and member communications, list matching, data hygiene, and report production. I managed all data and technical aspects of Working America’s in-house phone center from selection of the dialer system and network support through basic training for call staff. I hired and supervised a small team of IT and data support staff.In addition to providing reports, counts and other descriptive statistics on all facets of the organization, I worked with researchers to translate study designs (randomized, controlled studies of our field work) into operational plans. This involved close collaboration between the researchers, our voter file vendor, and our field, political and data teams. I oversaw data logistics for field implementation including maintaining integrity of control contacts, provided regular (often daily) results for analysts, and managed multi-stakeholder, multi-vendor challenges to field implementation. I assessed, provided strategic advice and used analytical models, implementing custom models we’d worked with vendors to build. I worked with polling vendors, and provided contact data necessary to conduct research. Collaborating with our field team, I lead the evolution of our field data operation from handwritten paper sheets to 3G-enabled iPads. Show less

I organized student support for union organizing campaigns and campus contract negotiations, as well as base-building efforts broadly. Overall I developed campaigns, performed strategic research, engaged with union internationals and locals to support campus-worker organizing efforts, planned and coordinated multi-campus actions, led local and national press work, strengthened individual campus groups, and ran workshops and strategy sessions at our regional and national gatherings. As a national organizer, I recruited and trained student leaders, developed leadership, planned campaigns, supported local actions in-person, developed websites and workshop curricula, and designed supporting materials. I built relationships with allied organizations, served as a representative to coalitions (Grassroots Global Justice, National Youth & Student Peace Coalition, among others), and collaborated with my colleagues to develop strategy for all nationally coordinated campaigns. I shared supervision responsibilities of regional organizers, arranged trainers for national conferences, and wrote organizing manuals on relevant areas of work. Show less
