As a seasoned fundraiser, Jessica R. Harris brings nearly 15 years of transformational relationship building and an ​expansive network; millions of dollars raised through grants, special events, and individuals; experience liaising with ​Boards of Directors and their committees as well as team and organizational oversight through coaching and ​development, budgeting, and strategic planning.

As an equity enthusiast, Jessica - a proud graduate of Trinity High School, Spelman College, and Washington University in ​St. Louis - has been committed to advocating for that which is fair and just. From her early days as a Girl Scout to ​mentoring with LINK Unlimited Scholars to serving on the Board of Directors for the Southside Center of Hope to presiding ​as past president of the Chicago Chapter of the National Alumnae Association of Spelman College and being a dedicated ​member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, one thing is clear: discovering ways in which to harness our collective ​power for the greatest good is Jessica’s passion.

As a brilliant storyteller, Jessica knows how to weave mission moments and personal anecdotes to captivate the hearts ​and minds of audiences. From participating on panels to being a guest speaker for collegiate classes and nonprofits alike - ​navigating more traditional settings like auditoriums and more adaptable ones like Zoom rooms - Jessica has also been ​able to share her journey and experience to stretch leaders of today and inspire those of tomorrow.
