Background

About Paul Russell

I’m a mission-driven nonprofit executive with a strong track record in board development, annual giving strategy, membership growth and retention, and staff leadership. I’m passionate about meeting community needs and building bridges across diverse populations — creating spaces where people feel connected, valued, and inspired to grow. Over the years, I’ve led successful fundraising campaigns, strengthened board engagement, and driven measurable results across operations and culture. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and community, and I bring clarity, momentum, and heart to everything I do. I hold a Master’s Degree in Sustainable Development and earned my undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University (Go Frogs!). I’m honored to have received the President’s Lifetime of Volunteer Service Award and remain committed to servant leadership and lasting community impact.
