Bio
Darin Hayes
As a board member at Hosanna House, I’ve worked closely with Ardana on several major fund raisers and community outreach programs. She is always the consummate professional with an incredible ability to coordinate projects, lead teams, manage the details and get things done. It has been a pleasure working with her.
Alex Matthews
Ardana is very well organized. She works well with a diverse group of leaders. She allows for input from others but knows how to manage them to achieve the desired outcome. She is the perfect fit to lead an organization.
Bob Burns
I served as a YMCA board member and had the distinct honor to work side-by-side with Ardana as she led the charge to raise significant money to support the outreach programs in Pine Hills. Ardana was instrumental in expanding that YMCA's footprint in that fragile community by working to increase the Y's service capacity. In her efforts, she helped to raise money and grow membership to support adding a feature pool, new workout areas and new programs. Her energy, passion and shear determination is why the Y in Pine Hills opened it's doors to a 7,300-square-foot, $2.7 million renovation in 2007. It is evident that she knows how to rally a community to support a worthy cause and grow the business to sustain it. Any employer fortunate enough to recruit Ardana on their team is gaining an adaptive leader with a track record for producing results.
