The nonprofit sector is powered by people who help organizations navigate growth, change, challenge, and opportunity. For decades, the Association of Consultants to Nonprofits (ACN) has helped strengthen that work by bringing together experienced advisors, fostering professional excellence, and creating a community dedicated to helping nonprofits thrive.

I'm honored to share that I've been invited to serve on the Association of Consultants to Nonprofits Board of Directors for the 2026–2027 term.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working alongside nonprofit leaders, foundations, and mission-driven organizations tackling complex challenges. One thing I've learned is that strong organizations don't happen by accident. They are built through thoughtful leadership, sound strategy, and trusted partnerships. ACN plays an important role in advancing those principles across the sector.

Thank you to Tweed Thornton for the introduction and to my fellow board members for their willingness to invest their time, expertise, and energy in service to the profession. I'm looking forward to learning from this exceptional group and contributing to ACN's mission in the years ahead.

The nonprofit sector needs strong organizations now more than ever. I'm grateful for the opportunity to support the consultants and advisors who help make that possible.
