Attuned to people’s ability to envision solutions where challenges exist, Nancy’s outlook, as well as her commitment to social justice, was shaped by her binational experience. Born and raised in Mexico, she has called Oregon home for more than 20 years. For Nancy, nonprofits have been places to build community and vehicles for supporting social justice. In joining Meyer at the moment it intentionally focuses on equity, Nancy relishes the opportunity to continue supporting creatives, risk-takers, innovators, community builders and the organizations that engage them.
