Background

About Allison Ivey

If I had to summarize my philosophy in one sentence, I think Horace Mann said it best,"Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves." This belief has translated into a lifetime of involvement in education, non-profit sector, health care and the creative arts. Working in these varied arenas has given me a wealth of transferable skills and experiences as well as connecting me to amazing people. I also enjoy learning, being creative and taking on challenges. Additionally, I find supporting others to achieve their best work is the most rewarding part of leadership. Some of my skills and experience include- Keynote speaker on adult learning strategies and featured presenter at numerous conferences - Experience leading non-profits, collective impact initiatives and community organizing efforts - Over twenty years of management, budgeting, employee development and staffing experience - Product development, project management and strategic planning - Written and obtained grants ranging from $500K to $2.2M - Co-authored state guidance documents on continuous improvement research and performance metrics - Trained in leadership coaching, mediation, and conflict resolution - Highly organized, smart, positive, problem solver and creative
