Advisors

The Institute was developed with guidance from the late Naomi Levine, a Senior Vice President of External Affairs at New York University and founder and first Executive Director of the NYU Heyman Center for Philanthropy and Fundraising, where our founder has served as a faculty member for over 10 years. Mrs. Levine provided invaluable advice to our founder and facilitated key introductions that led to the Institute’s first partnerships. Her legacy lives on in the work we do to advance social impact.

Currently, our founder is advised by Stuart Cane, who provides overall guidance, and Ron Adelman, who provides legal guidance. Both are respected leaders in their respective fields and bring a wealth of expertise to our organization.

"The capacitation programme with The International Social Impact Institute is important to us to help position our university…The best contribution we can make as Mandela University is to marshal ourselves to be the scholarly articulation of his social and political contribution to the improvement of humanity; to put together institutional arrangements to expand our national, continental and global footprint of scholarly outputs promoting social justice and equality.”

“We partnered with The International Social Impact Institute to deliver a fascinating interview with Tom Higley, who talked about solving the world's biggest problems through entrepreneurial methods. Liz was instrumental in securing Tom as a speaker and did such a brilliant and engaging job of moderating the conversation with him. The whole event really helped to expand Resource Alliance's offerings and audiences, at a time when the sector needs to think about new ways of solving the world's biggest challenges. It was fascinating, timely and vitally important to learn how social entrepreneurship and other new revenue models can help with this. We can't thank Liz enough! :)”
Ruby ChadwickHead of Global Engagement and Events, The Resource Alliance UK
"We were very happy to have Liz present at our Wilmington Trust Philanthropic Speaker Series Virtual Coffee Chat (session #84) on Wednesday, June 30, 2021. Her topic, “Digital Strategies for Funders" was very helpful to Wilmington Trust’s endowment, foundation and nonprofit clients and their trustees. She did an excellent job describing the Digital Storytelling Ecosystem. This is very important to all nonprofits as they pivot back to the new world. She also provided key insights on how to maximize LinkedIn to tell your story. She is a top notch teacher and coach and we were very lucky to have her at our session!"
