- My interests and experience center around at-risk and underprivileged children and families. I have five years of direct case management experience, including working for the County Prosecutor’s office and the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services during the period it was under federal scrutiny. I moved to the nonprofit sector after obtaining a Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in Non-Profit and Public Management. I have more than four years of experience developing, implementing, and coordinating programs including securing a 1.1M grant for a three agency consortium program and then managing the program for the United Way, the fiscal sponsor. In my current capacity, I am responsible for the direction and performance of several key children and family initiatives. I have recently taken on the additional task of grant writing and managing the development needs for the organization. I would now like to bring this background to focus on grant writing, research, and evaluation to better serve the needs of children and families.

I am quite engaged by your background and would love to get together for lunch sometime to learn more about your current work. I am based up in Morris County, but I pass through New Brunswick regularly on my way down to Grant Professional Association (GPA) New Jersey meetings in Monroe Township. If you've never been to a meeting, I'd love to welcome you to one. The group of men and women there is simply amazing.
You can learn more about the NJ chapter at http://grantprofessionalsnj.org (note: the site is currently being updated)
Also, I'd love to see you at the MidAtlantic Grants Conference the NJ and Southeastern PA chapters host in May, also in Monroe in 2012. You can learn more about the conference, and keep up with conference updates, at http://midatlanticgrantsconference.org.
I hope we get to meet in person soon!
Regards,
Melanie
