Behind The Idea …
Jennifer Hurst
Oftentimes, businesses and corporations want to do more in the community but do not have the resources or budget to hire a full-time position. I can work within the budget you set to achieve these goals.
With over 20 years of experience in community development and program development, I’m here to help you increase your community presence, value, and revenue!
I come equipped with an incredible network of the area’s top leaders in business and nonprofit
My Experience
My dream and the reason for creating What’s The Big Idea? is for the purpose of adding support to nonprofits and businesses I love.
My knowledge and expertise come from not only formal education but, being a part of the good, bad and ugly in nonprofit and business leadership. I seek to elevate the good, help you cope with the bad and name the ugly so that we can deal with it and actually find a resolution rather than a quick or temporary fix.
I’m me. Yep! I am me, all of the time. I am genuine and honest. I will be honest with you about problems and TOGETHER we will come up with a variety of options for solutions no matter the challenge before us.
