In my last year, we were voted the nation’s most outstanding Friends organization, and I was named one of the Twin Cities’ “40 under 40.” I led a $140 million referendum campaign and a $16.7 million capital campaign for the Minneapolis Central Library, before helping advance a politically complex merger between the city and county systems. I got my start working for a political consulting firm in Northeast Ohio, where my primary focus was helping public agencies – school districts, libraries, mental health, and transit agencies – build public support for tax referendums.įrom 2000 to 2007, I served as the Executive Director of the Friends of the Minneapolis Library.

I have built a career partnering with organizations-including those without traditional donor constituencies or high visibility-to access the resources they need to grow and better serve their communities.
