In her professional roles, Nanci has led outreach at Oregon Wild; communications and operations at the Funders Committee for Civic Participation; and most recently was Director of Development at Western State Center, a movement building and leadership development organization helping to build a 21st century civil rights movement. Nanci has lived in SE Portland for 32 years where she has devoted countess hours to volunteer-driven conservation initiatives through her past role on a neighborhood association board. She currently serves as the fundraising chair for Friends of Moreland Woods. When not working or volunteering she can be found creating pollinator habitat in her backyard or hiking with her family and dog in Portland’s parks. Nanci is excited to help lead SE Uplift in building a vision and strategy that empowers everyone in our community to learn, connect and engage in civic opportunities to build a future where every person can thrive. Contact Nanci to explore partnerships, to bring forward an advocacy request to our board, to learn more about any of our community committees, or if you’re a neighborhood association in need of an insurance certificate. Nanci is the liaison to the following neighborhood associations: Buckman, Madison South, Mt. Scott - Arleta, and Mt. Tabor.
