About Benjamin McCarty
With years of expertise in building alternatives to arrest and incarceration and serving people experiencing concerns related to mental health, problematic substance use, housing insecurity, and extreme poverty, I facilitate successful systems change and build capacity and sustainable impact. Person-centered servant leadership based in values of perspective, equity, integrity, and respect motivate my work. My experiences have provided me with skills in: • Leading organizational change and building communications and awareness plans; • Implementing training and technical assistance focused on community safety and wellness; • Working independently and creatively under high pressure while maintaining attention to detail; • Managing teams and programs, including operations, budgeting, and people development; • Advocating and formulating community- and research-led legislation, policy, and analysis; • Facilitating collaborative strategic planning and impact measurement initiatives; and • Building sustainable relationships and compromise across ideologies.
