Dynamic Water is dedicated to providing local, clean water access to communities in need. We accomplish this through partnerships with organizations working directly with those in need to bring about positive change focused on empowering the community members and longterm sustainable solutions.My role in Dynamic Water is multi-faceted. As leader of the organization, I provide strategic direction and oversight of all activities. I seek and develop relationships with other organizations looking to integrate clean water into their poverty alleviation and community development operations. I manage donor and supporter relations, including record keeping and reporting. I head up our fundraising events, working with volunteers to coordinate all aspects from planning to execution and followup.Our fundraising focuses on leveraging the talents, passions, and connections of our supporters in an effort to have their engagement with Dynamic Water be integrated into their lives and not a separate activity. One of our end goals is to free those in need from the burden of collecting and purifying water for survival, and give them back hours each day that can be invested in improving their own lives. We want to help them move from surviving to living.On the fundraising side, my objective is to lead well while empowering others to use their talents, passions, and connections to participate in ways that are meaningful to them and those we serve. I love to engage with people to help them determine the things they do best and are most passionate about. Then, I help them see the connection between those things and helping others.On the organizational side, I thoroughly enjoy working with other organizations and their leaders to see how we can collaborate to help them achieve their water related development plans. The experience we gained through our first project in Kenya puts me in a position to provide insight on what makes for a successful, sustainable project.
