Beth is the Director of RESOLVE’s Healthy Communities Program. In this capacity, she shapes and guides the program's vision, mission, and portfolio of work. As a collaboration and consensus building specialist, Beth designs, convenes, and facilitates consensus-building processes and interest-based dialogues to help communities and policymakers address complex public health, social, and environmental issues at the local, national, and international level. Her work focuses primarily on issues relating to strengthening public health infrastructure, promoting and supporting health equity and environmental justice, addressing environmental health challenges, and supporting community capacity building and resiliency. She is particularly interested in supporting conflict prevention and resolution through collaborative efforts to transform systems to be more equitable, just, and beneficial to the people they serve. Through her facilitation, mediation, and strategic planning work, she has collaborated with numerous stakeholders across the country, including community groups, public health experts, scientists, educators and academics, Tribal representatives, industry representatives, environmental advocates, nongovernmental organizations, and agency staff at the local, state, and federal level. Her work is increasingly becoming international in its scope.

Prior to joining RESOLVE in 2010, Beth worked as a fundraising, marketing, and communications professional, focused mostly on campaigns promoting collaborative environmental protection. She joined the RESOLVE team because she shares RESOLVE’s vision of a less polarized world and its commitment to transforming ambitious ideas into real benefits for people, communities, and ecosystems. She is passionate about supporting and enhancing the health and wellbeing of individuals, communities, and the planet. After many years in Washington, D.C., Beth is now based in Chicago, Illinois.
