ACCE – and its affiliated organizations – represents more than 10,000 chamber professionals worldwide. I lead the exceptional team that serves the community via innovative problem solving, management resources, and industry thought leadership. Our members are catalytic leaders who deliver meaningful results in workforce and talent, education, inclusive economic development, DEI, community health, entrepreneurship, and countless other community impact initiatives.

Previously, at the Public Affairs Council, I was chief public affairs expert, managed a team of thought leaders, oversaw strategic planning, and directed consulting services. While there I opened the Council’s first international office in Brussels. As executive director of the Foundation for Public Affairs, I directed research, operations, and fundraising.

Public speaking is a passion for me, and I’ve delivered keynote addresses across North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
