We love seeing our board members doing great work across the city! 🌟

A big shout-out to Brynn Elcock Smart, who brings so much passion and expertise to the New Hazlett board. Catch this great spotlight from Workhorse Collaborative about her latest partnership supporting SHIM—we couldn’t agree more with everything they said!

Read the full post below:

From the outside, Workhorse Collaborative may seem like a two-person band. But the word "collaborative" in our name isn't just snappy branding - Jackie and Emily surround themselves with the best and the brightest in the nonprofit scene. And here's one of them!

Meet Brynn of Brynn Elcock Smart Consulting (BES Consulting). Brynn uses rigorous business expertise she gained at top global management consulting firms to help nonprofits turn big dreams into practical reality. She moved from London to Pittsburgh last year and has quickly embedded herself in our city's vibrant nonprofit and arts scene, serving on the Board of Directors for Landforce and the New Hazlett Theater as well as the Volunteer & Ambassador Council for Pennsylvania Women Work.

We're teaming up with Brynn to do a senior services assessment for local human services organization, South Hills Interfaith Movement - SHIM. Excited to collaborate with her!
