“We love working in the social impact sector!”

Maryann Kerr is Chief Happiness Officer/CEO and principal consultant with the Medalist Group. Maryann has worked in the social impact sector for more than 30 years and helped raise over $110M.

Maryann knows that successful organizations create and nurture a climate where everyone understands their role; politics are minimal; engagement is high and turnover low. Environments where employees co-create the road-map to mission delivery. Compassion, kindness, a commitment to the profession and deep respect for the professional fundraiser are at the core of her work.

“I have an incredible network of professional associates with deep experience in all aspects of organizational health, fund development, governance, strategy and event management — all willing to assist. We know that the very best way to deliver our missions is to have leadership teams who work in a deeply collaborative way and by extension – staff and volunteer teams who are engaged, respected and inspired to bring their very best to their work every day.”
