CultureSource is a member association for nonprofit arts and cultural organizations based in Southeast Michigan. As the organization's communications director, I developed CultureSource's first comprehensive communications strategy, including the public relations framework for the acquisition of consulting firm EmcArts. This role also entailed the stewardship of large investments from the Gilbert Family Foundation and Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan to develop our portfolio of services and legislative advocacy policy. During my tenure I also collaborated with Global Ties Detroit and the US Department of State to facilitate international exchanges with professionals from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Jordan, India, Morocco, and the UK.
