Excellent Choice!Nancy has led a stellar organization very well in MercyCorps, and they have stepped up with front line humanitarian aid service across the world in some of the most challenging and trying situations. The whole organization is impressive and her leadership has been hands on and top notch. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her and working with MercyCorps to support one of their programs for the Landrum Bolling Felolowship briefly while at Earlham College, and they are an amzing organization. She will be a great asset in this role!Dennis Robinson, Director of Development, St. Francis Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
