Shefali is available as a freelance Project Manager to help organizations further their mission or programs. In her many years as an executive director, there were many times Shefali wanted to hire a project manager who was reliable, credible and knowledgeable to help execute a specific project, launch an initiative or overcome a pain point. She knew exactly what she wanted to do but lacked the time and bandwidth to execute on the project herself. If this sounds familiar, this is how Shefali can support your organization.  Potential projects: Launch large campaigns/initiatives Build collaborations/coalitions across groups or service areas Develop, improve or simplify messaging/copywriting Create virtual advocacy campaigns Research solutions to overcome challenges Support corporate giving & volunteer programs Shefali can provide hands-on project implementation with a defined scope and clear deliverables, over a specified period of time.
