Bio
Daniel Sturm
Natalie Dixon knows how to bring out the best in people, across different departments and within her own team(s). As a naturally born strategic thinker, she knows how to effectively lead projects, ask just the right questions, distill information and identify appopriate action steps to advance projects with excellence. As a writer and researcher, I always appreciated her ability to look at a problem from different angles, almost like conducting 'SWOT analysis on the fly' while scouting for evidenced-based, practical solutions. Natalie also applies a marketing lens to her work to ensure all stakeholders are being considered and messaging is clear and relevant.
Laura E. Bush
Natalie is a powerful partner for Baltimore City Schools leading the development of many programs to support our scholars. Her program development starts with an idea, develops into a full-blown program and continues through implementation. I have worked with her on the development of the On Track For Success, School Progress Conversations, and School Mentoring Programs. These programs have helped our students get back on track for academic success, understand their academic progress, and expose them to resources and opportunities in the community via mentoring. All of these programs had significant challenges: understanding how to partner with City Schools, defining outcome metrics, determining program components and roles, budget development, staffing and recruiting volunteers which Natalie worked through with diligence and grace. She consistently demonstrates strong leadership skills with partners, contractors, staff, volunteers and donors. Natalie has strong interpersonal skills, connecting people with volunteer opportunities and making them feel very appreciated.
