Heather Hawkins, Director of Operations at Crossroads for Women, has been chosen as a 2019 Talent Academy Fellow by The Grants Collective.
After completing the rigorous and highly competitive application process, Hawkins is one of just seven individuals selected as fellows for this year’s cohort which began last month.
The Talent Academy is a 4-month fellowship during which nonprofit professionals engage in high-quality professional development through weekly seminars as well as project-based work as they write grant proposals for their own organizations.
Heather is a lifelong New Mexican with an interest in social and policy issues affecting women and children. She has an MA degree in U.S. History from the University of New Mexico and is completing a Ph.D. in U.S. Legal and Policy History from the University of Minnesota. Heather came to Crossroads for Women as a volunteer writer for the newsletter and fell so in love with the work she decided to join the team full time in 2015.
As the Director of Operations at Crossroads for Women, Heather is responsible for grant writing and reporting, compliance requirements for our housing programs, facilities, IT systems, office management, and data management. She likes dinosaurs and catering to the whims of her beloved dog.
Congratulations Heather! We’re extremely proud and fortunate to have you sharing your gifts at Crossroads for Women.
