Volunteer Activity:
Haiti Communitere February 01, 2010
Having spent much of my adult life in a small community where I quickly learned EVERYBODY can make a difference, I raised two kids, ran a successful art gallery for 25 years, served as President of the Chamber of Commerce, co-founded two non-profit 501(c)3 arts corporations, and volunteered/served on boards/fundraised for the arts, architectural preservation, IFAW, human services and especially for the local AIDS network, when I was both humbled and proud to be one of 5 businesses in the US to receive a "Business Responds to AIDS" award from the Surgeon General of the US.
I volunteer as Development Director for GrassRoots United, both working from the states, and getting my feet squarely on the ground in Haiti as frequently as I can manage.
I am available for public speaking engagements with regard to grass roots applications for culturally explicit, efficient, streamlined disaster response and long-term sustainability; strategized from the ground up, not from the boardroom down.
