Waldorf Administrator and Leadership Development

Several times, in moments of meditation, a thought came through my mind: serving non-profits that base their work in anthroposophy or Waldorf education. Following this thread, I did a google search (as any woman in her time would do) and discovered that Antioch University New England was launching a pioneer program titled "Waldorf Administrator and Leadership Development" in April. I immediately contacted the program director, and was enrolled the same day, while securing non-degree grants from VSAC. 

The two first sessions were inspiring: 

- an initial session at Antioch New England, featuring 22 administrators from various Waldorf schools across the continent

- a Renewal course on organizational issues (featuring conflict resolution) at High Mowing High School in New Hampshire

I am looking forward to interacting with fellow administrators for our Fall semester.

Volunteering - and successes!

It's been a year full of research, writing and tribulations. Quite a few lessons were learned, both on the personal and professional front. Numerous letter of intent (LOI) were sent, a few grant proposals were written, reports were submitted, templates were created and a few successes were had:

THREE grants were successfully received following the efforts.

It has been a full year, and a pleasure to serve these non-profits making meaningful work.

Blessings on our work together!

The joys of certification examination...

After weeks [not to say months] of researching, proposal writing and studying in general, I had the privilege to attend the American Grant Writers' Association's Certified Grant Writer Exam in Florida. After two days of review, I had the privilege to sit on the 6 hours exam [in three sections]. Besides the warm and balmy Florida weather at the end of February - a welcomed change from the Vermont weather - the detailed review clarified many obscured points while the exam was the perfect opportunity to test my knowledge.

It is with excitement that I can announce that yes, I passed my exam, and that I am available to support non-profit organizations in their grant research, grantmaker research and proposal writing.

Feel free to contact me with questions - it will be a pleasure to support your endeavors.
