Alyson Small

President and Founder

While I began my consulting career supporting small businesses, I found my true purpose in working alongside nonprofit leaders who are deeply committed to community change. Helping them bring their mission to life and strengthen their impact is not only meaningful work—it’s a calling.

Fun Fact:
