With tremendous excitement we introduce to you Camp Nakanawa’s Director of Development, Britney Sink! Were it July in Mayland, Britney Sink might hear the above ringing through the dining hall –with the clinking of glasses — to greet her at her first meal at Camp. Alas, it is September, we are not at Camp, so this introduction will have to stand in for our singing.
Britney has more than sixteen years of experience driving growth, engagement, and impact for purpose-driven organizations. Her superpower is strategy. Skilled in both high-level planning and hands-on execution, Britney is a natural problem solver, known for taking complex challenges and turning them into clear, actionable solutions. Passionate about building stronger, more effective nonprofits, she thrives where she can apply her expertise to create sustainability.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, with degrees in International Studies and Spanish, Britney received her Master of Public Service degree from the University of Arkansas William J. Clinton School of Public Service. Britney has served on various nonprofit boards and enjoys being involved in her community. She has been recognized in Knoxville Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” and is a graduate of Leadership Blount and Leadership Knoxville. Originally from High Point, NC, Britney, her husband, and their daughter just moved to Greensboro, NC from Knoxville, TN.
Britney has been working with the Nakanawa Board and has met with our development committee. She has jumped right in and is excited to get to know more of the Nakanawa community. Those of us who have already had the pleasure of working with Britney cannot say enough good things about what she has contributed, in a very short time, to Camp’s mission and development strategies. We are so fortunate to have her join our team.
When asked what drew her to Camp Nakanawa, Britney replied, “I want to support and promote the development of women and girls so they have the best chance to make an impact in our world. Camp Nakanawa is building up girls in such a meaningful way, and I’m excited to use my skills to share that impact. With greater support, we can grow even further.” She added “Everyone I’ve met speaks about Camp with such passion. I’ve been impressed by the commitment of the board and alumnae who give their time and energy to make sure each summer is the best one yet. It’s clear Camp Nakanawa is a special place people care deeply about and are proud to carry forward.” WoHeLo, Britney!
