About Roderick Howard
At Urban Alliance, my dedication to operational excellence was evident in the transformation of IT and financial processes. Our team consolidated IT operations to enhance efficiency and crafted strategic fundraising initiatives that significantly increased net income. These efforts underscored my commitment to improving operational frameworks and empowering the foundation\'s mission.With a tenure at MADD that sharpened my skills in team building and fundraising, I\'ve successfully aligned organizational goals with philanthropic efforts, yielding substantial sponsorship and donation growth. These experiences reflect my strategic leadership style, focused on fostering cultures of trust and collaboration while delivering transformative outcomes that support and value our community.
