Ryann Miller Director of Non-profit Services, Care2 |
Ryann Miller is Director of Non-profit Services at Care2, where she helps nonprofits recruit online supporters. Care2 is the largest online community of people making a difference. She is the former managing director of DonorTrends.
Co-author of the Hilborn eNews (formerly Canadian Fundraising and Philanthropy) series Web Jury, and speaker at fundraising conferences, Ryann is an avid traveler, keen reader, and near-obsessive listener of music. She’s inspired by the nonprofits she has the pleasure of working alongside, and never stops learning from the donors who make it all possible.
Though Ryann was pregnant and due to deliver on the very day of last year’s Digital Leap, her healthy baby boy arrived a week later. She isn’t planning any exciting surprises this year. She’s too tired.
