With more than 15 years of leadership experience in nonprofits and philanthropy, I have devoted my career to building relationships that connect people to the causes they care about and ensure that nonprofits have the resources to fulfill their missions.I have a proven track record of leading business development, strategic collaboration, and community impact initiatives in the charitable sector, with expertise in multigenerational philanthropy, grantmaking, fundraising, and marketing. As a lifelong learner, I hold a graduate degree in business with a focus on nonprofit management, and I became a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® (CAP®) in 2024. With a commitment to furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion, I am an advocate and ally in the workplace and the community.Former colleagues have complimented my strong work ethic, communication and problem-solving skills, reliability, integrity, emotional intelligence, humility, and authenticity. As one former supervisor said, “Rebecca is a wonderful person and an outstanding professional. … I could always rely upon her to deliver the expected results. A real pleasure to work with.”As an engaged community member, I volunteer for a variety of organizations, in areas including the arts, type one diabetes research, and older adult services. As a Board Member at Trellis (formerly the Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging) and a family caregiver, I am an advocate and ambassador for programs and services that help people thrive as they age.Talks about #giving, #nonprofits, #philanthropy, #socialimpact, and #communityengagement
