 "Engaging Debbie Levine of FunderWoman to lead the planning and execution of our event was one of the smartest decisions our nonprofit has made. From start to finish, Debbie expertly coordinated every detail of our panel discussion on cancer prevention and health advocacy. She established clear goals and timelines, kept our volunteers and partners aligned, and ensured we were reaching the right audiences with the right message.  Her thoughtful preparation of our moderator and panelists made a real difference—everyone felt confident, informed, and fully engaged. Debbie’s energy, strategic insight, and unwavering dedication brought the entire event to life. We simply could not have pulled off such a meaningful and successful program in such a short time without her leadership."
