About erika:

She has served as a leader at an art museum, a regional arts council,  regional performing arts center, and our state's fine craft guild.

​Her leadership is focused on program creation, driving earned-income, marketing, organizational development, board development, grant writing, outreach, staff team development and fundraising. 

She leads and facilitates meetings and workshops, helping leadership groups to rediscover their brand, shared values, mission, and vision. She helps groups quickly get to consensus and to turn these statements into a strategic plan. She uses creative means that involve play to make this process fun and fast. Her strategic toolbox includes conflict transformation facilitation and organizational audits for anti-racism.

She is a founding member of PA's Passport Rotary Club #7390, a new club and concept that enables business and community leaders to network more fully without the boundaries of distance.
