She knows her stuff
Leading everything for a small nonprofit organization is impossible and utterly exhausting. There are times when our organization deserves more time, attention, and thought than I, as Executive Director, can squeeze out of my busy schedule. I knew we needed high-quality and focused attention. Having seen Sarah present at local nonprofit events and trainings, I knew she knows her stuff and was the right person to give the Middlebury Area Land Trust the attention it needed during strategic and complex times. Having Sarah’s support allowed me to step back from the work, put my thinking hat on, and let the creative juices flow.
