This is my second time at Chapman, which isn’t really surprising when I look at how everything I have learned and accomplished has led me back here. With roles in nonprofit management, higher education, health care, community relations, and housing affordability, I want to channel all my experiences into this role. I was first at Chapman as Vice President of Development, from 2019-2021, and it was incredibly rewarding work. I left to launch my consulting firm, Heidi Alzate Consulting (HAC), poised to leverage community partners, donors, and drive transformative philanthropic goals for an array of clients. When the opportunity arose to come back as Executive Vice President at Chapman, and work with Scott Hansel, the President and CEO, I knew this is where I am supposed to be. I am now in the position to help steer the organization’s comprehensive strategy for programming and wraparound services and diverse revenues, creating a clear path toward long-term self-sufficiency and housing stability. I am excited and humbled to be back.
