JAN FISHER

Jan Fisher has devoted her career to empowering nonprofit organizations, the people served and the nonprofit workforce.  As the Executive Director of Nonprofit Westchester, she brings 300+ members together to advocate with one voice, demonstrate the strength and impact of the nonprofit sector, share ideas and expertise, and facilitate learning and collaboration with nonprofit, business and government partners. Deeply committed to equity and justice, Jan believes we must confront the underlying issues that create barriers to the full and equitable inclusion of all people in community life, and work together to dismantle systemic racism, ableism, and heterosexism.
