Greetings everyone,
I am the president and CEO of Christian Leadership Alliance. I am grateful to be able to engage with you in this unique and inspired community.
My professional journey includes executive leadership experience in technology, marketing, publishing, and retail. I served in executive leadership roles at Federated Department Stores and was the president of Borders, Inc. I was also the chief publishing officer of Thomas Nelson Publishers and a partner in a technology firm.
I am certified in board governance through the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. While I enjoyed serving on for-profit boards, I discovered a deep love for nonprofit board governance in 2000.
Serving on the boards of EQUIP, Lead Like Jesus, Christian Alliance for Orphans, Growing Leaders, and Christianity Today has been a blessing. I now serve with the National Association for Evangelicals, Best Christian Workplaces, and Christian Leadership Alliance boards.
Completing the Christian Credentialed Nonprofit Leader (CCNL) program in 2013 was a remarkable learning experience. That is why I currently facilitate 10-week online cohorts for CCNL Leadership and the Thriving Leader Series. If you've never participated in one of those cohorts, it would be a joy to share the experience with you.
I am passionate about equipping leaders to steward their organizations with excellence as they seek God in everything. Mission-critical competency and Christ-like character are essential for Christan leaders to thrive!
I welcome the opportunity to share more about the Christian Leadership Alliance and its vision for the future! I hope you will invite me to connect with you!
