About Sandra Renner
I have had the pleasure of managing, coaching, and developing teams for more than 25 years. My experiences have allowed me to work in inside and outside sales, meat processing and production, customer service and call center operations, telecom and rural broadband, marketing and social media, blogging, holistic healthcoaching, community and civic engagement, capacity building, social services, food systems, project management, grant writing, and nonprofit management. My current role allows me to take these experiences, along with my passions and creativity, to support an organization, board of directors, and staff who engage rural leaders, communities, and small businesses in decisions that affect their lives. Alongside my professional work, I’ve been processing the world through writing since I was a child. Over the last 35 years I created a collection of short stories and poems, Tales from the Table: unverified folklore of food, family, & human belonging, that will release in April 2026.
