Welcome to Imagine Philanthropy

I have enjoyed speaking to many of you about my life’s work in advancing women’s lives around money, politics, and leadership.   Since my retirement from the Women’s Sports Foundation last summer and the travels that followed, I have been teaching, coaching and facilitating trainings around these topics.  During this time I have met more amazing people and we have had engaging and stimulating conversations – all at a marvelous pace!

While out in the world spreading the work of hope and change, I have also been developing a web site to showcase the new business and some writings.   All of the photos on the site are from my travels.  Enjoy!   Read More »
