Sarah manages all activities related to the Leadership Development Initiative (LDI) program. LDI is a program designed for investing in the future leader, using data-driven training models and access to experts who share their experiences as our community grooms the talented professionals who will lead this region in the coming years. She executes program design, planning and implementation of the program in addition to partnership development and cultivation, event planning, management and evaluation. In addition to her LDI duties, Sarah also develops communication materials and maintains the

Sarah’s experience in the Pittsburgh nonprofit community started in 2014 when she assisted Bike Pittsburgh in their efforts to host the first ever Women and Biking Forum, now known as the Women & Non-Binary Bike Summit. Following, she spent over 5 years with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization in various roles after originally starting with the team as an intern in the Community Relations department. She primarily worked with Pirates Charities, the philanthropic arm of the MLB team, to execute fundraising activities, grant distributions, and programming that improved the lives of children and adults in the

greater Pittsburgh region. Sarah also spent time with the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership as their Member Relations Manager. She was responsible for planning and implementing programs and projects that engaged members, cultivated new members, and enhanced volunteer participation.
