This includes management of LIFT’s performance, impact, and evaluation efforts, supervising LIFT’s field operations and ongoing program development, driving critical thinking around organizational and staff development, informing strategies that leverage and harness new technologies, and overseeing LIFT’s financial operations and budget.
Tony LIFTs because of a deeply held belief that our well-being as individuals and as a society is completely dependent on the well-being of the people around us. He LIFTs because of his belief that we have an individual and collective responsibility to recognize the inherent value, beauty, and potential of all people and to do what we can to mitigate the level of unnecessary suffering experienced by so many in the world today. Tony LIFTs because he believes that when people have the opportunities to nurture, develop, and bring their gifts to bear on the world, the world is simply better for it.
