Nancy Davis
Nancy has been a strategist, facilitator, and thought partner for values aligned, mission-led organizations for almost three decades.
-
Her clients advance racial, environmental and economic justice and value her ability to deeply understand their vision and think strategically about the big picture, while facilitating and managing a clear path to success.
One of her joys is designing and facilitating transformative conversations to build trust, support individual and system change, advance justice and explore new paths to meaningful action. She is grateful for many wise teachers and guides who have advised her during her decades of experience working with racially diverse leadership teams, managing and supporting projects that center equity and inclusion, and advising leaders and organizations in change and transformation.
Her experience of the world has been shaped by aspects of her identity, including that she is a white, queer, cisgender woman and a mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and partner. Her view of the world is also shaped by studying labor economics at Portland State University, with a focus on gender, race and economic class, and co-founding Family Forward Oregon to advocate for economic justice policies for families.
Campbell Larson
Campbell Larson is a Portland-born housing leader and next-generation philanthropist reimagining what collective generosity can look like in her city.
-
She has been asking "why not?" since she was four years old, when she first learned that families without housing were sleeping at her preschool. That early awareness sparked a lifelong commitment to ensuring community resources are organized in service of collective wellbeing.
After studying business at the University of Denver, Campbell returned home to manage multifamily housing developments for her family's company while serving on the board of the Family Peace Center of Washington County. She participates in a statewide funding table advancing homelessness solutions and housing justice across Oregon and is a fellow of Class 47 of the American Leadership Forum of Oregon.
Her leadership bridges strategy and relationship: she volunteers weekly with NightStrike serving unhoused neighbors downtown, and through Love, Portland, pools resources and convenes cross-sector leaders to fund upstream solutions that prevent homelessness before it occurs.
When she's not working toward that vision, Campbell can be found trail running through Forest Park, dealing smiles on a tandem bike with her husband, or worshipping at Bridgetown Church.
