The Author
Rosetta Thurman grew up in the public housing projects of Cleveland, Ohio, and if it weren’t for the nonprofits in her community who helped her family in times of need, she doesn’t know where she would be today. She is proud to be a young nonprofit leader of color and her mission is to engage the next generation in creating the world as it should be. Rosetta is passionate about sharing nonprofit resources, career advice and fresh ideas to educate and inspire young professionals and people of color in doing the work of social change. Rosetta lives and works in Washington, DC. She is a writer, fundraising professional and leadership development consultant and has been featured in articles about the nonprofit sector in the Washington Post, Nonprofit Quarterly, and the Chronicle of Philanthropy. She is an active member or the Organizational Development Network, Association of Fundraising Professionals and serves on three local nonprofit boards in Washington, DC. In addition to being a graduate of RBC, Ms. Thurman holds a Master’s Degree in Organizational Management with a concentration in Nonprofit Management from Trinity University and a Bachelor’s Degree in English from Virginia Commonwealth University. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Organizational Leadership from Regent University. Rosetta teaches nonprofit management and leadership as an Adjunct Professor in the School of Professional Studies at Trinity University in DC. She currently serves as the Director of Development and Special Programs at the Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington where she directs the Future Executive Directors Fellowship and manages fundraising to support a $1.5M budget. She is also the Principal Consultant of Thurman Consulting, providing speaking, training and consulting services to organizations working for social change in the areas of leadership development, diversity, fundraising, and social media. In 2008, Rosetta was named a “New Leader in Philanthropy” by Greater DC Cares. In her free time, Rosetta writes poetry, eats lots of ice cream and dances like nobody’s watching.
