Lea Ann's four decades in the philanthropic sector prioritizes the role of women. She's a donor and a most unlikely fundraising professional. She tells stories that disrupt traditional approaches to raising money to advance missions and why understanding emotions and feelings are the key to success for women who give, women who work in the many professional roles available and the value of feminine insights to this sector.
