Over the course of her 25-year career in the field, Ms. Chan’s work has involved developing partnerships with more than 250 organizations, including nonprofits, schools, businesses, and government agencies. Creating effective community engagement initiatives with these varied types of organizations is a key step toward creating sustainable, mutually beneficial collaborations that can be strengthened and enhanced over time. This is particularly true regarding partnerships that expand student learning opportunities and improve the outcomes of marginalized communities.
With these goals in mind, Ms. Chan’s ability to effectively connect the needs of people with the resources and influence of institutions is invaluable. She has a track record of forging community partnerships that generate productive dialogues and, more importantly, demonstrable results.
