Welcome Heidi Hancock to the Inversant Team

It’s hard to believe we are already into September, students have moved into their college dorms, and schools across New England are starting up their fall semesters. Even though our Learning Circles are not held during the summer months, our staff was busy preparing and getting ready for the fall. As we kick off a new academic year, we are excited to announce the hiring of our new Vice President of Advancement, Heidi Hancock. Heidi brings many years of organizational growth and fundraising experience to Inversant and we believe she will help transform Inversant at this very exciting time as we move into our 10th year of operation. Read on below for more about her!

As an entrepreneur she has built agile organizations that deliver training in strategic communications and fundraising skills to more than 5200 people in over 32 countries.
