Michele Whetzel has worked in the nonprofit arena for 20+ years, having served on more than a dozen boards in roles ranging from treasurer to board president. For her bestselling book So, You Want to Start a Nonprofit, Now What? Michele interviewed 60+ nonprofit experts, and she uses this combined expertise to help startup and small nonprofits launch and prosper.

Over the years Michele has chaired social, event, annual campaign, grant, and governance committees, and she has created two new nonprofits from just an idea. The experience gained through nonprofit consulting, board work, nonprofit startup, and leading three statewide charitable organizations gave her an overall nonprofit education and viewpoint that she now uses to help others. She has seen firsthand how ethical behavior and transparency, along with hard work and passion, lead to success.
