Professional Background:
Carolyn Cushing has worked for over fifteen years in social justice and educational organizations, focusing her work on organization and resource development as well as participatory learning, research, organizational processes, and facilitation. Carolyn has been the Network’s primary organizer since its inception in 2000. She also coordinated the participatory evaluation of Spirit in Action’s Circles of Change program, which is documented in the report Circles of Change: Transforming the Way We Do Change. Before joining the Progressive Communicators Network, Carolyn served dual roles at a community-based educational organization serving Western Massachusetts' immigrant, refugee, and migrant communities. As Fundraising Coordinator, she successfully diversified the organization's funding base (formerly all funding came from one source). In her final year, she coordinated the effort to raise a budget approaching a half million dollars from a mix of state funders, private foundations, local businesses, and individual donors. Carolyn also served as the facilitator of a two-year participatory action research project exploring how Welfare Reform, Immigration Reform, and the demands of the changing workplace impact adult learners and their ability to achieve their dreams and goals. She holds a M.S. in Management / Organizational Development from Antioch University.
