Helpful in Saving Lives: America's Blood Centers
Show Notes

This week’s guest is Jeanette Brown, Senior Director of Strategic Marketing and Communications, for America’s Blood Centers.  Jeanette has more than 21 years of non-profit medical marketing experience. She started her career as a blood donor recruiter at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, but over the years, she has been responsible for enhancing and growing many organization brands, as well as providing analysis and solutions to over 100 non-profit companies. In addition to the role that she plays in her job, Jeanette also brings experience as a Board member for Special Olympics and the Jaycees. Having Jeanette on the show this week is especially timely given that June 14th is World Blood Donor Day, a recognition day that is obviously of very special importance to Jeanette personally, but also for her member organizations that are involved in life-saving work all year long. It was truly an honor to be able to feature America’s Blood Centers this week and I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jeanette Brown.

Joy Duling is the calm voice you want to have in the room when you, your team, or your board is overwhelmed by ideas and options.

She's a trusted resource at the other end of an email or phone call who knows the answer, or can find the answer, when it's not clear what to do next in your approach.
She's a planner of systems and driver of progress that helps your organization achieve stretch goals.

She's a gifted facilitator of conversation, collaboration, and constructive growth.
