Dr. Melissa L. Perkins, CFRE
I want to change the world through force multiplication. I take a transparent approach to nonprofit leadership and strategy that inspires confidence and builds organizations. I am passionate about people. I love working with individuals who have a shared vision to make an impact. Change does not happen with one person working alone. Through partnerships we can drive measurable results and create sustainable solutions.
“Our fingerprints don’t fade from the lives we touch.”
