The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global governing body of the Paralympic Movement. Its purpose is to organise the summer and winter Paralympic Games and act as the International Federation for ten sports, supervising and coordinating World Championships and other competitions. The vision of the IPC, run by 200 members, is `To enable Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and inspire and excite the world.` Founded on 22 September 1989 as a non-profit organisation, it is based in Bonn, Germany and aims to develop sports opportunities for all people with an impairment from the beginner to elite level. It employs more than 70 people from 20 countries and is composed of a General Assembly (highest decision making body), a Governing Board (executive body), a Management Team and various Standing Committees and Councils. Aspiration Athletes and the Paralympic Games are at the heart of our Movement. Their performances and incredible stories teach the values of acceptance and appreciation for people with a disability. The Paralympic Movement builds a bridge which links sport with social awareness thus contributing to the development of a more equitable society with respect and equal opportunities for all individuals.

I have over 32 years of nonprofit management experience and I know the roles and challenges of the nonprofit world. I don’t believe there are “problems” to handle, but rather there are “challenges” to overcome. I have been part of a national nonprofit organization level (Disabled Sports USA, a member organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee), the state level (Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Chesapeake), as well as at the local nonprofit level (Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna, The Maryland Center for Arts and Technology as well as The Montessori School). This diversity of employment has provided a perspective that few have. At each agency, I have improved the areas for which I was responsible, brought in new supporters, established new systems to improve efficiency, and worked to strengthen existing systems that improved effectiveness. I have served in senior management for most of my career, providing each organization with my nonprofit leadership, nonprofit management, financial management, strategic planning and implementation, business planning, fund development, performance-based management, human resources and entrepreneurial leadership abilities. I have shown and proven my ability to put the needs of the clients and stakeholders first, create relationships with partners and funders, strong ethics and values in the missions of the agencies I have worked for, ability to lead growth while implementing new systems, and recruit and work with board members in a team environment.
