Speaker:
Paula Douglas Seidel, CAE, IOM 2nd degree connection 2nd Founder, Strategic Partnerships and Alliances, Association Leader, Global Engagement.
I am a Global Strategic Partnership Executive, Consultant and the Founder of Powerful Partners. With a wealth of experience in the nonprofit sector, I have a proven track record in all aspects of association management, including board and volunteer management, strategic planning, integrated communications, and international relations.
The golden thread of my career, however, has been the partnerships and alliances that have moved the needle on issues facing the financial services profession, the built environment, climate, sustainability, immigration, and labor. I have honed the art of facilitating collaborative events, coalitions, strategic partnerships, and overall relationship management. I have served in roles that advise C-Suite Leaders, and my work ensures that alliances are developed with mutual trust and that partnership collaboration, one of many avenues for organizations to realize their mission and goals, is viable and mutually beneficial. I bring to the table an extensive network that reassures and instills confidence in the expertise of established professionals from all facets of the association world.

We have a targeted approach to overall organizational development, leveraging strategic partnerships to help organizations make their business connections count.
