Building Donor Relationships Grounded in Trust & Respect

Jill Lundberg

I am interested in facilitating change that helps us adapt to the changing world. I have worked in retail and led the effort to computerize store inventory and customer databases. In the late 1990s and 2000s, I worked with small businesses helping owners figure out how the web could enhance their businesses. From 2012-2020, I worked in the Complementary Medicine Department of Group Health Cooperative, where I taught movement classes based on yoga poses to give people insight on habit patterns in order to create a greater mind / body connection.
