About Emily Means Wills
My book recommendations live here: https://bookshop.org/wishlists/1942cb1279f3a7344b35bd569c23da6973e04107 Development found me. After many years spent in theater as an actor, teaching artist, director, and in the box office, Emily volunteered on one gala committee soliciting donations for their silent auction and never looked back. After years of storytelling, developing characters, and being part of an ensemble (a group of people, working together to accomplish a goal) stepping into fundraising was a natural transition. Emily now helps nonprofit organizations tell their stories, inspire hope, and engage supporters dedicated to building a brighter future in partnership.
