Lisa Specter-Dunaway

Experienced Chief Executive Officer with a demonstrated history of success in nonprofit leadership and management. Strong business development professional skilled in Mergers, Nonprofit Management, Program Evaluation, and Strategic Planning. It's not enough to want to help people. Nonprofits are small businesses with a nonprofit tax status and social mission. Like all businesses and organizations, strong leadership and management are critical for success. I bring these skills with a passion for helping people to every organization where I work or volunteer. One of my passions is nonprofit governance and I've experienced board service as a board member, board chair, and as a CEO. Developing a positive board culture with appropriate infrastructure is key to maximizing organizational success. I'm a trained Nonprofit Lifecyle Capacity Consultant and recently facilitated training sessions for Leadership Metro Richmond focusing on Nonprofit Leadership Succession Planning and Board Development 101.
