Jody joined Align in 2007, coming from the healthcare and philanthropic fields where she worked in marketing, community outreach and organizational planning. Utilizing her many years of experience and education, she works with Align clients primarily in the areas of strategic planning, facilitation, leadership development, and association management. She is highly skilled in facilitating public participation processes and situations where a decision making body needs to incorporate the interests and concerns of all stakeholders and reach consensus to move forward. Jody has led the effort to revitalize the state association for charitable nonprofits now known as the Wyoming Nonprofit Network. With a thorough knowledge of the state’s nonprofit sector, she finds it especially rewarding to provide resources and support to the nonprofit community and raise awareness of their vital role in our communities. A Wyoming native, she enjoys spending time with her family, gardening, and kayaking on quiet mountain lakes.
