"Amelia initiated and organized several Diversity, Equity and Inclusion trainings. She worked with the staff to assess opportunities for growth by finding ways for each member to connect with DEI activities."

Stephen Smith

Executive Director, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy

"As Board President, Amelia was committed, with me, to modifying our governance system. To that end, she focused much of the Board’s time on strategic thinking and relationship building. Our culturally diverse Board entered into a profound and revealing conversation which helped expand people’s sense of others’ perspectives and their own... [Amelia] helped support the Board in its strategic work of guiding the congregation in its collective anti-racism, anti-oppression, and multiculturalism journey."

"Mel's equity and social justice lens is a perfect fit for NP Voice, where she's become a thought leader and key member of our grant writing and stakeholder outreach team. I trust her to work independently while communicating closely enough to ensure smooth workflow. She's a great critical thinker, and always asks the right questions to ensure she delivers quality work that reflects the project vision, on time and on budget. I love to bounce ideas around and think creatively with her!"
