and CEO,  is deeply dedicated to cultivating, inspiring, and empowering nonprofit professionals, teams,

leaders, boards, and organizations. Her unwavering commitment to excellence is centered on

empowering nonprofits to make a profound impact on the communities and memberships they've

been entrusted to serve.

Brenda possesses an intricate understanding of associations, nonprofits, and chambers, acknowledging the nuanced

balance required. She understands the importance of maintaining a mission-centered approach rather

than solely pursuing profit, giving precedence to stakeholders over shareholders, and ensuring

unwavering compliance with nonprofit regulations while embracing the most effective practices. Her

expertise lies in navigating these distinct aspects that set nonprofits apart. Every nonprofit is unique,

not only in its mission but also in its lifecycle. Whether your organization is in its inception, undergoing

a transitional phase, or well-established, Brenda possesses the expertise to guide your journey

towards sustained, long-term success.

Brenda offers a generous invitation to schedule a 30-minute complimentary discovery call.

This call serves as an opportunity to delve into Profound Leadership, our suite of services, and

acquaint yourself with our organization.  It's a chance to explore how we can support you, your team,

your board, or your entire organization. There's everything to gain and nothing to lose.
