Background

About Jordan Ely

As a “life-long learner,” the best part of any of my work has been new challenges, learning from outstanding partners and clients, and identifying creative solutions deepening equity in the Nonprofit sector while increasing organizational capacity and resilience. Centering community voice and agency in work with my clients has been the most profound and rewarding aspect of all of my work. My passion lies with supporting executive transitions, partnering with organizations at pivotal change points to understand community needs and translate them into transformational leadership. I’ve spent much of my time leading various strategic planning approaches to strengthen strategy, team development and impact. Valuing and meeting the complexities of Nonprofit capacity building and development by asking deep questions and forging trusting relationships is where my true strengths lie. If you need to find me outside of the professional world, you can find me at Menil Park in Houston, playing with my three dogs, cooking or watching great TV!
