Why? Why do I love what I do? Because! Because people like you make people like me.

Shan Abbasi

Community Development

I have always loved solving puzzles. Not only finding answers, but identifying the relevant questions. Small, consistent change is often better than the big splash, so we keep refining our methods.

Administration

Being able to see and facilitate meaningful connections is inspirational. These connections impact the lives of so many in our community and it's why I love working with this team.

I am a busy bee flitting from one project to another, in and out of sticky situations, and I couldn't be happier.

Community Connections

We're designing our dream of a caring community, and not only will we build the bridge, but we'll meet you on it!

Nadine Melrose

Fund Development

I believe relationships are the pathway to a meaningful life. Being able to reach out to the relationships to help support the community I live in, and that I am passionate about is a dream come true.
