Jamila Medley - Lead Collaborator
Jamila Medley (she/her) I am a leader and consultant who for over 20 years has supported mission-based organizations in the non-profit and cooperative business sectors. I am passionate about supporting individuals and teams through highly participatory processes focused on leadership development, governance, and participatory management.

I hold a M.S. degree in Organizational Dynamics from the University of Pennsylvania and earned my B.A. degree in Urban Studies from Connecticut College. I was an inaugural 2020 fellow in Securing the Roots Fellowship and was the 2018 Philadelphia Community Fellow for the Shared Economics in Equitable Development Fellowship.
Currently, I serve on the board of directors for Independence Public Media Foundation, Movement Alliance Project as well as on the advisory boards of An Economy of Our Own, Quioveo, and All Together Now PA.
