Director of Business Affairs
Heather has extensive nonprofit and business experience, holding positions in executive leadership, commercial real estate, and fiscal oversight. Over the course of her career she has used her understanding of systems development and risk assessment to strengthen organizations as they work to build capacity. She is passionate about the role strong organizations play in building and unlocking communities for their citizens. Heather is excited about joining National Capital Presbytery as Director of Business Affairs in part because of the pivotal role that churches play in community building. She holds a BS in Business Administration from the University of Illinois Springfield.
