Alyson is a talented fundraiser, Board member, and volunteer extraordinaire. I worked with her closely in all three capacities while serving as the Executive Director of the Anacostia Watershed Society. While on the Board, she was instrumental in advocating for the organization’s first ever Strategic Plan, and was an active participant throughout that process. Alyson would be a tremendous asset to any nonprofit needing assistance with strategic planning.
