Jenna Corman Mandel

Development Strategy
My Why: Anne Frank said, “No one has ever become poor from giving.” I believe a mission-driven organization can offer donors just as much as donors offer them—through community, purpose, and meaningful philanthropy. It brings me joy and satisfaction when I know the small (or big!) part I’ve contributed results in something successful.
Becca Flyer

Operations
My Why: People are at the heart of every organization, and it’s important to me that mission-driven organizations are great places to work. I’m motivated to help ensure our workplaces not only produce high-quality products but are also financially sustainable and operate in an efficient, effective, and fun way.
Elyse Goldberg

Communications & Content
My Why: I’m motivated every day by the ability to leverage my clear communication superpower to do what I’m meant to do: help people. You mean what you say; let me help you say what you mean.
Morgan Henry

Finance
My Why: I want to give you the capacity to focus on the passion that ignites you—to enable you to grow and succeed in your business—by providing guidance and service, taking financial management off your plate.
Jaime Walman

Strategic Planning & Development
My Why: To famously quote Ted Lasso, “I believe in believe.” I am passionate about living a life of purpose and meaning, and modeling for my children that life, and work, are about constant possibility.
