My Nonprofit Reviews

I was the President of the teachers union in the same county when Melissa created and developed the Alliance for Public Schools in 2012, and we immediately collaborated to work for better schools and conditions for teachers and students. That led to many collaborations to support educators and students through community work, parent education and empowerment, development of student leadership in school site-based problem-solving, and comprehensive strategic planning and project implementation with the school district.
In every single instance, she and her organization demonstrated great and insightful leadership, creativity, efficiency, and outstanding execution. Her ability to build productive relationships and work collaboratively with districts, superintendents, school boards, educators, and the professional organizations (unions) within school districts — as well as at state and national levels— is top-notch.
