You find loving homes for shelter-relinquished animals. You mentor homeless youth and offer them a safe, warm place to stay. You support veterans experiencing PTSD in finding the right job for them. You collaborate with government, business, and civic organizations to conserve land. You provide wellness programs to seniors to help them remain active, engaged members of the community. Whatever your
passion might be, your drive to make the world a better place is strong. But with your passion and your drive comes a lot of responsibility. You have thank you letters to write to your donors. You need to find replacements for the board members whose terms are ending in a few short months. You have a quarterly newsletter to draft and send. You can see your year-end fundraising campaign glimmering on the horizon. The list goes on and on, and never seems to get shorter. You and me? We have a lot in common. My name is Sarah Audet, and I am the Executive Director of a small but mighty nonprofit in Vermont. As the only staff member, I wear many hats. I am whatever my organization needs me to be. Relationship-builder. Storyteller. Motivator. Strategic thinker. Development officer. Data entry specialist. Problem solver. All in 20 hours per week, or less. What can I do for you? I help nonprofit organizations and their leaders, both staff and board alike, get the word out and get the right people on the bus. In plain terms, that means communications and board development. You see, my own passion for making the world a better place is matched by my passions for writing and organizational leadership. I love helping nonprofits to tell their stories, and to find and cultivate strong leaders. This way, you and your organization can focus more on doing what you do best: delivering life-changing programs to your community.
