Staci traded a corporate career — where she focused on information technology and business process improvement for companies like Gap, Inc., Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), Sprint, AT&T, and Springs Industries — for an opportunity to make a greater impact on the community through the nonprofit sector. This took her to roles as Vice President of Development for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society - Eastern NC Chapter, Executive Director of National Students of AMF, and CEO of Children’s Flight of Hope.

Staci likes to spend her time working to maximize an organization’s opportunities for success through both strategic and operational initiatives. She is a lifelong learner and holds certifications in Performance Measurement for Effective Management of Nonprofit Organizations (Harvard Kennedy School), Leadership in Action (Center for Creative Leadership), and Information Technology Leadership (Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business). In 2017, Staci was recognized with a Women in Business Award from the Triangle Business Journal.
