Company Name:

A FOOT IN THE DOOR PRODUCTIONS

No nonprofit, business or agency is an island…Imagine the power and possibilities when visionary nonprofits are joined at the table by socially responsible corporate and public sector leaders. These relationships are at the heart of successful colaborations. These partnerships raise more money and awareness for the non-profits, gain market share and credibility for the corporations, and fulfill states’ needs by meeting government agencies’ missions. A slightly modified John F. Kennedy quote really defines this process “ask not what the funder can do for you but what you can do for the funder”. Where the three sectors converge the future lies.

About Me

My Favorite Quote:





"You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try" - Beverly Sills

"The minute you settle for less than you deserve you get less than you settled for" - unknown
About Me:
I am dedicated to inspiring community-based partnerships across public, private and nonprofit organizations, through the active exchange of knowledge and resources.

My vision is to change the definition from competition to collaboration because if you spend as much money, time and energy as you may spend fighting or competing AGAINST someone/something and instead spend that same money time and energy working with someone HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU GET?

After all "we are each the parents of our dreams so we must support them as best we can until they can support themselves..."
I'd Like to Connect With:
People interested in inspiring an epidemic of good will.

My Passion:
My dear friend Beth tells me I can be passionate about the air...
I Live To:
Leave this world better than the way I found it...

This quote really says it for me.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
Areas I Want to Improve:
Have more time for myself to work out, sleep or just dream!

I think Rebecca is one of the most inspirational people I have ever met and I'm completely honored that she used the quote I have in my email signature on her page :-) Maybe it's just a coincidence - proof that we're meant to be friends or acquaintences or partners in those BHAGs of yours!
