Here is how Dee summarizes her work:
My official roles & titles have included Program Director, Small Grants Manager, Leadership Development Coordinator, Video Producer, Marketing & Public Relations Specialist, Organizer, Co-Founder, Trainer, & Technical Assistance provider. My lesser-known and unofficial roles have been an advisor to the people, world change strategist, conflict resolution goddess, business mogul, and team dreamer---because, yes, in this new millennium of community & business development, "we still have a dream." ;-)
