Development Director
Pronouns: She/Her

Patti comes to the Cedar with over 6 years of solid professional development and fundraising experience; she has recently been development coordinator with Rainbow Health, an HIV advocacy organization, and was previously the development director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, MN Chapter, a nonprofit which represents civil rights for the Minnesota Muslim community. She has volunteered with nonprofit community radio station KFAI since 1984 and served on its board of directors for 4 years, 2 of them as its elected board president. She haunts the airwaves occasionally with music from her collection which is usually only ok for post-midnight listening.

Patti is extremely enthusiastic about the Cedar Cultural Center; she considers it an honor to work here and she’s anxious to get right to work to bring in support for the Cedar’s wonderful mission. She’ll be delighted to meet with the Cedar’s supporters over coffee or lunch as soon as possible. She’s very interested in hearing ideas from supporters and creative, out-of-the-box thinking.
