Janet’s accounting career has spanned public accounting, corporate accounting, and even business ownership, but her heart has always been with the Not-for-Profit community. After earning her CPA license and working in her early career, she was fortunate to be able to stay home while raising her three children, but was always volunteering at their school and in the community. Inspired by watching her extended family age at home with the help of loved ones, Janet first joined ICGMC as a volunteer in 2012. When the Financial Manager role became available in 2017, Janet joined ICGMC as a member of the staff. She left in 2021 to work for another local nonprofit, and to do some nonprofit financial consulting. Now Janet is happy to return to ICGMC to fill the role as Director, Administration & Finance.
