Executive Director
“The knowledge Jess has is incredible and on top of it she keeps it all in a library for you!”
Jess Birken has definitely been a partner of ours from the beginning. She was the first professional we hired to help us become a 501c3 non profit. It has been pretty rare over the last seven years that Jess has not had the answer right off the top off her head. Those rare times she didn’t, she took the time to find the answer and get back to us.
