Background

About Katrina Beitz

I am a detail-oriented and energetic professional with several years of experience in development, communications, and non-profit work centered around accessibility to outdoor spaces, food equity, and opportunities for individuals with low incomes. My work centers around income and racial equity, emphasizing that individual community members should lead program and development efforts. I believe that collaboration between community and organizations is the only way to create lasting, systemic change.I have taken on a variety of roles but with a through-line of supporting communities. I've been responsible for introducing and establishing new roles at multiple organizations and creating sustainable practices for those positions to thrive after my tenure. I have significant experience in CRM management, creation and evaluation of personnel policies and practices, leading trainings and workshops for youth and adults, maintaining financial records, creating budgets and board reports, managing robust grant portfolios, and providing mentorship to young employees. I work best independently, where I can sit with a problem and then share with a larger groups or partner to discuss and fine-tune strategies.
