When I made my decision to retire I knew it was the right time for me and for Vantage Point. The organization is in a great place with wonderful staff and knowledge philanthropists, a refreshed strategic plan, and relevant programs and services. I will be so excited to see new successes under Alison Brewin’s leadership.
Vantage Point is a testament to the magic that happens when smart and dedicated people come together around a compelling vision – transforming not for profit leadership. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such a passionate and fun team and with such an accomplished and wise board.
A heartfelt thank you to the staff and board members, knowledge philanthropists, funders, partners, and our clients. Working with all of you has been a real pleasure and I will miss you. Please keep in touch!
