Shannon Forney came to MRAC in 2010, from the American Heart Association, where she provided organizational support in areas of advocacy, community outreach, volunteer management and marketing. She is able to meld both personal and professional zeal in bringing this broad administrative skill set to MRAC, and back to the arts. She will graduate from Hamline University’s Masters in Nonprofit Management program in 2011.
