A distinct view and the ability to succeed in a complex world is an advantage that I bring to any organization. Many stereotypes plague individuals who receive assistance. Regulations and laws can complicate the ability to assist individuals in need. The truth that we all face and must navigate is the stark difference between those who need assistance and those who are eligible to receive it. My career has been built by learning to navigate the differences and specializing in programs to impact as many as possible. The ability to share my journey and what I have learned over the last 20 years can help organizations avoid delays and pitfalls in their mission.
I hope to grow myself and others through board service. I hope to broaden my network while working with others towards a common goal/mission. I want to be the best version of myself in my community, for my community.
I desire to help wherever I can, and particularly as a voice at tables where women may have been marginalized in the past. I strongly believe (based on replicable evidence) that diversity of thought leads to better outcomes for businesses, products, employees, and the world.
I have a strong passion for the Akron community and want to help it grow and flourish. I want to serve to help strengthen my network in the community and be part of boards or committees that play a role in driving strategic decisions. My interests include direction setting on strategy, sustainability, organizational culture, and community engagement.
I am looking for an open board seat to not only grow more professionally, but for exposure to different leadership styles as well as an opportunity to network and gain valuable experiences by helping provide strategic direction and oversight to the board/organization utilizing my knowledge and experience over the past 17 years of my career.
An opportunity to collaborate and serve companies and functional areas that are unfamiliar is exciting to me! I look forward to investing in a new organization and strengthening my leadership skills along the way.
Serving on a women's leadership board would align well with my extensive background in education, workforce development, and community service. My involvement could help shape policies and programs that promote gender equality and professional development for women.

I want to meet more individuals in my community that share the same values and interests as me. I want to make a difference in the lives of others and give back in ways that I can.
Giving back to the city of Akron has been my passion since I moved to Akron in 2014 to attend the University of Akron. I think the city of Akron has a phenomenal community and I would like to see all of our community members thrive. I bring energy, creative ideas, and a young perspective to the projects I work on.
I hope to not only serve the organization for which I am serving on the board but also meet other talented people outside of my field of work. I get energized by working with and for new people.
I am looking to add board positions to my portfolio. I have had previous board positions in the past but am looking to add more that are more professional vs. personal.

I plan to retire from my full-time job in about 18 months. I still have loads to offer in the way of social media, event planning, marketing and creative problem solving. I'm too antsy for couch-surfing with Netflix.

I would like to serve to gain valuable leadership experience as a young professional residing in Summit County.

I previously served for three years on a professional board (Ohio Prospect Research Network) and enjoyed my experience but would like to transition to a board experience for a nonprofit organization.

As I have worked in the fundraising world for 10+ years, I can bring valuable insights to a fundraising or development committee.
I am eager to contribute at a higher level by joining a board that reflects my deep passion for arts and culture, history, supporting women, and animal welfare.
