Agency or Organization? Tips From Someone Who Made the Move
When I was child I had two dreams of what my future would look like. I was fully committed and convinced I'd grow up to be either Dr. Dolittle or Carol Burnett. I would divide my time between standing in front of a mirror reciting her monologues and perfecting my "Eunice," and standing at the edge of my backyard willing all the forest creatures to come to me.
So, I'm a fundraiser having a mid-life crisis. Â And that's perfectly fine with me.Â
I am taking time to look around, lift my head and find REAL people who really want to change the world. Â And people smart enough to do it. Â Join me in this fun journey. I have no idea where we will end up - and that is the beauty of it. I'm nonprofit passionate, a hopeful world changer, and always ready to share what I know, learn what I don't, admit when I can't, and ask the hard questions.
