As an Executive Director of a non-profit with a small team, in these turbulent times where each decision feels so consequential to our organization's long-term sustainability, Caravanserai Project has helped me step back, realign with our vision, make decisions that most effectively advance our mission and impact, and when necessary, make crucial pivots that are sometimes difficult personally and emotionally.
