Areas of Expertise:
- Governance process
- Participatory processes and stakeholder engagement
- Democratic management structure and culture
- Business and financial strategy
Where do structure and culture intersect? How do our skills, experience, and backgrounds affect our approach and our ideas about what’s possible? How can a richer plurality help move our ideas, organizations and larger structures forward towards justice? Finally, how can we do this revolutionary work _and_ stay afloat financially? I like to ask questions, learn from those around me, and stay rooted in the bigger picture while doing the detailed work of bringing projects to fruition.
