“Lisa Utman Randall is one of the most professional, creative, and capable nonprofit leaders I have had the pleasure of working with. As a board member, it is a real pleasure to be able to feel such absolute confidence in the executive director. She deftly puts everyone, board and staff alike, at ease and enables the group to focus on the task at hand. Lisa asks the right questions and listens carefully to the answers.
Lisa knows the non profit world inside and out and can guide any group through it all: mission and vision, development, staffing/HR, donor relations, grant writing, communications, programming, and community building. Under Lisa’s skillful guidance, our organization has grown from a scrappy startup to a beloved and widely respected arts center at the heart of our community. After several years away, Lisa returned to consult with our board during a period of transition. She brought calm and clarity to a difficult time, enabling our board and staff to navigate through the transition.”
