I plan and manage effective meetings for leaders at all levels, including board meetings, strategic planning sessions, and skills trainings.

Examples of my Convening work include:

• Leading, as Executive Director of the CA Association of Food Banks, many trainings on advocacy, policies, and programs for food bank leadership and staff, including the first-ever statewide  conference.
• Briefing The Women’s Foundation’s grantees on the federal stimulus package and opportunities for women and families.
• Serving on the planning committee for California’s first Working Family Tax Credit conference in fall 2010, on behalf of Western Center on Law and Poverty.
