My Nonprofit Reviews

Nancy, the Executive Director of Central Park NC and I connected years ago with the common interest in rebuilding our local communities especailly around the loss of the textile industry in our state. The crown jewel of her work is Starworks and rebuilding an abandoned sock manufactoring facility in Star, NC to a exciting hub of creative art people and businesses that it is today. Having the opportunity to serve on her board has been an honor and a fantastic learning experience for me. I share and tell the Starworks story as a great example of rebuilding communities using the assets that are already there and not having to depend on the failed attempt of bringing the typical outside "white knight" business savior.
