Senior Consultant

A public relations and fundraising
consultant since the late 1980s, Linda
brings real-world nonprofit experience
as a development director and public
relations executive for nonprofits and
institutions of higher education. During
her public relations career, she trans-
formed the identity of a regional human
services provider from a virtual unknown to a household name, brought together the then-largest volunteer bone marrow recruitment drive in the U.S. and won an award for crisis communication for her management of media following a potentially devastating revelation about an influential constituent of a faith-based organization.  Working with hospitals, colleges, museums, human service providers, churches and other faith-based organizations, her experience includes capital campaign development, collaborating on capital campaign feasibility studies, direct mail, annual fundraising, special events and corporate and foundation relations. In addition, Linda is a skilled grant writer and has significant expertise in prospect research, analyzing capacity of potential donors. A graduate of The Metropolitan State College of Denver with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Linda was accredited by the Public Relations Society of America in 1993.  She lives in Westminster, Colorado.
