Presenter:  Emily Croak

Emily is an experienced coach and facilitator with a passion for helping clients discern their strengths and weaknesses and connect their vision with clear and actionable strategies.

Her work at ASP has been focused on leading large-scale fundraising campaigns and first-of-their-kind engagements for her clients. At the same time, she has helped a variety of nonprofits develop annual fund programs and major gift strategies that strengthen relationships with stakeholders and raise more money.

Emily is a regular presenter of fundraising and board governance workshops that serve to elevate the work of individuals and organizations in service to their stakeholders and their missions.

Before coming to ASP, Emily worked for a national leader in skilled nursing services. There, while managing employee engagement and leadership programs, she developed an understanding of the psychological side of business – how to marry employees’ interests with best practices and leadership skills to further an organization’s mission.

Today her clients have the benefit of this perspective, and she relishes the opportunity to help them become better versions of themselves.

Emily is a graduate of the University of Toledo and serves on the board of the Ballet Theatre of Toledo and committees of the board of The Giving Institute and St. Ursula Academy in Toledo.
