What has kept you a member of WID for all these years?
I’ve loved my life in development — making the world a better place one relationship at a time. WID has been integral to my career, both as a professional home and a community of champions for mission-driven organizations. Some of my dearest professional friendships date back to 1986 (!). As we rose through the ranks, we navigated the ever-changing nonprofit landscape together — advising, encouraging, and sometimes consoling one another as we took our next steps.
