ABOUT CLARINDA BARNETT-HARRISON

Hello and welcome to my LinkedIn page!My personal mission statement is to provide access to opportunities for quality education and economic mobility for individuals who have historically been politically, socially, and economically excluded. This personal awareness was developed through the culmination of my experience as a native Detroiter, my professional service as an astute economic development practitioner who has carved out a niche in education and social mobility, and my volunteerism in bringing support services to young people in my community. The aforementioned statement and experiences have become my compass for how I have decided to navigate my career path.I am an accomplished senior-level leader with over 20 years of experience in economic development, client management, urban design, community engagement, fundraising and capital programs. My capstone successes are in negotiations, fund management, and provision of industry technical assistance. I continue to demonstrate leadership and ambition for developing strategies that increase economic sustainability of private and public institutions. Thank you for visiting my page, and feel free to inbox me if you\'re interested in learning more about my personal and professional value proposition.
