Who I am

SAMANTHA SWAIM

Why: I believe in the power of bringing people together to create a shared experience, build community and move a mission.
What I do at Swaim Strategies: I encourage and motivate. I teach and coach. I dream. I am a strategist at my core and bring that focus to planning events and reaching results. I am an ally to nonprofits and an advocate for their missions and dreams. I use events as a tool to build relationships, inspire connections and raise support.
My experience: I have been in nonprofit fundraising and event production for over 20 years and have a passion for working for a purpose. I come from theatre + TV production roots with a focus on details and a vision for the big picture. Great events are made better when they share a story and have impact.
What I believe in:  Community. I believe that we are stronger when we work together. I believe that together we can have impact, we can build stronger communities and we can have a richer and fuller experience.
