Stephanie has a great business sense having been the founder and CEO of her own business for 4 years, and has also been involved in community fundraising/collaborative initiatives as well.

She comes highly recommended by many non-profit professionals, is a skilled leader, big picture thinker, and has deep a desire to build relationships, partnerships and fund-raise on behalf of On Belay.  We believe she is someone who will bring leadership, strategic thinking and action to On Belay in order to help increase our visibility and develop a broader range of supporters to our organization.  Her experience as board member and professional combined with her thoughtful, and relational approach makes her an outstanding fit for On Belay. Welcome Stephanie!
