Many of my career stops have been in newly created positions, where the organization wanted to move in a different direction with new leadership. Whether it was a new curriculum, new organizational initiatives, or the need to build an effective team, I was the resource and facilitator that made such
new ideas become realities.

I presented ideas, built ownership, and provided talent and financial resources to accomplish the goals.

Specific examples include:

Developed and promoted new educational programs to Board of Directors in higher education, local Boards of Education, and State Department of Education

Facilitated Community Advisory Groups

• Nurtured two bills through legislature

• Secured funding for secondary vocational education

Led and/or facilitated organizations to become leaders by changing their culture to:
