Sharing skills while building new ones

Transitioning into a new field after a successful 32-year career in marketing for Marriott, Janet was looking for an opportunity to continue to use her project management and communication skills while building capacity for a nonprofit organization. We connected Janet with Community Reach so that she could support a charity in her hometown and one whose mission to provide vital safety net services resonated with her. Project-based skilled volunteering can be time-bound, provide an excellent sense of satisfaction for the volunteer, and create essential elevation for the nonprofit. Janet meets with the Director of Development and Volunteer Service, Andrea Kempner-Wink, to inventory the current marketing strategy and provides resources, connections, timelines, and goals. Blazing new trails starting her own business as a professional organizer while putting her accumulated skills to good use provides a fulfilling balance for Janet.
