About Meredith Bruster
I am a committed relationship builder, driven to connect people with the resources they need to flourish.As a Graduate Student at Syracuse University\'s Maxwell School, I am building critical skills in budgeting, management, and policy. As a Snow Fellow at the Central New York Community Foundation, I help coordinate The Leadership Classroom program, an initiative providing capacity building support for grassroots nonprofits in Central New York. Prior to these experiences, I grew donor engagement and bolstered philanthropic support for other social impact nonprofits. I am driven to authentically support and affirm others. I believe learning never stops and constantly stretch myself to read, listen, and engage more. I love to collaborate and earnestly believe in the power of teamwork. My adaptability, passion, and determination to built empathy-centered, high-performing environments drive me to make a difference in any organization.
