Every organization needs a plan to set priorities and align resources with objectives. Often, the strategic planning process is thought of as boring, repetitious, and painful. I work hard to ensure the time spent in planning is creative and engaging. I work at the business/organization level, as well as at the destination or regional level to determine an engaging vision and organize the path to get there.

 

Inherent in this development process is defining economic, social, and environmental sustainability. I have worked with destinations inside and outside of North Carolina on product development, marketing, community involvement, and environmental stewardship.

 

In addition to strategic and destination planning, I work with organizations on grant writing, evaluation and monitoring of programs/ initiatives, and applied research. 

 

My work within recent years has included:

• Blowing Rock Art & History Museum

• Toe River Health District

• Town of Marshville NC

• Town of Vass NC
