In my search for the right nonprofit for board service, Marta Ferro guided me in identifying my passion, alerted me to amazing nonprofits in the space in which I wanted to serve, pitched me to the board chair with all of the grace and intelligence for which she is known, and ultimately set me on a glide path to a seat on the board where I most wanted to serve. Marta and Starfish are shamans of the philanthropic world – connected, respected, and genuine forces of good. I would not be where I am without them.
