HELLO!
I’m delighted to introduce myself and share this special Blue Ribbon Month newsletter with you. For the past 35 years, I've devoted my career to leading nonprofit organizations, most recently with a decade of service as the Executive Director for the California Association of Food Banks. For the past six years, I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of Bay Area nonprofits as a consultant in the areas of interim leadership, fund development, board and executive coaching, and strategic planning.
Cope's services are vital to supporting parents and children, nurturing strong families, and providing community leadership. I'm honored to be a part of the team, and I look forward to working closely with our staff, board, and partners to help ensure that we continue to deliver these important services and build upon the strong impact Cope has been known for over the past 50+ years.
In Community,
Sue Sigler
Interim Executive Director
