About Pete Parker
My purpose in life is to help people and organizations achieve the greatness they\'re seeking. As a 35-year non-profit professional, I focus on identifying and assessing issues, creating opportunities, designing solutions, and implementing strategic steps to drive non-profit organization success. This has resulted in helping raise well over facilitating dozens of board leadership retreats, directly assisting 300+ non-profit organizations, and generating public awareness to millions of people. Industries and areas I\'ve applied my heart and soul include aviation, aerospace, health, cancer, endurance athletics, triathlons, colleges and universities, fraternities and sororities, careers, talent development and acquisition, fundraising, leadership development, sponsorship, crowd funding.
