Sarah Wilson Hou is a Director at MMP Associates. She possess expertise in grant writing, research, fundraising, community outreach, program management and 11 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Sarah and I were co-workers in a consultancy work for the Women’s Refugee Commission that explored the correlation between economic circumstances and exposure to gender based violence of vulnerable members, particularly women and youth, of displaced communities. For this project, desk research and team work in New York City were paired with a fieldtrip to Ethiopia in January 2011. Sarah and I worked closely for an extended period of time. Sarah has qualities that span beyond those of an outstanding professional. Besides being able to multi-task and to always meet tight deadlines, she manages to remain detail-oriented and to ensure high-quality and timely deliverables in all situations. She has a professional yet always pleasant and genuine disposition which makes it a real pleasure to work with her. Sarah was the lead contact person in liaising with our client, the Women’s Refugee Commission, and a variety of other high-profile partners, with whom she was able to sustain continuative and reliable lines of communication. She exercised a leadership role with confidence and savvy while coordinating the work of our six-person team. In spite of her leadership role, she was always willing and ready to compromise with the other team members in the interest of achieving optimal results. In addition to the above, Sarah is also incredibly open-minded and an eager and quick learner. I was sincerely delighted to work with her and hope we will get the chance to do so again. I trust that Sarah would be an invaluable asset to any team or organization." and "I worked with Sarah at Junior Achievement of WA. She learned her role & responsibilities quickly and was eager to take on new tasks. She showed initiative and created a volunteer web-site without ever being assigned the job. I found her to be, intelligent, hard working, dedicated and full of integrity. She built long lasting relationships, that continued to benefit JA long after she left the agency. Sarah is an asset and would be a generous & positive contributor to any organization she associates herself."
