About

Vision Driven Consulting (VDC) supports the visionary work of artists, community groups, and not-for-profit organizations by providing consulting, facilitation, and training services.

Brittany Campese, Founder & Principal

Picture
Brit Campese (she/her) has been working in the nonprofit sector for more than 15 years and combines her education in women's studies and nonprofit management to provide holistic support to change-makers and artists. As a white, cis woman who was raised in rural Western New York, she considers herself both an ally and an accomplice in the struggles for racial justice.
 
Through Vision Driven Consulting (VDC), Brit has provided consulting and training services to hundreds of individuals and organizations across the United States. VDC offers support to grassroots, community-led groups and large, national organizations - always utilizing a sliding scale fee structure to ensure accessibility. In a given week, Brit can be found working on 10 different projects with various partners across different cultural communities, providing deeply personalized support. She is also a Co-Founder & Co-Leader of Securing the Roots (STR), a 6-month fellowship to expand the fundraising capacity for community-based organizations (particularly those led by BIPOC and gender-oppressed leaders) in and around Philadelphia with budgets up to $1 million.
 
Brit is dedicated to love, social justice, and collective liberation, and works hard every day to help build skills and secure resources with individuals and communities that are doing the most visionary work. She recently moved from West Philadelphia (Lenaii Lenape land) to Ithaca, NY (Haudenosaunee and Cayuga land) where she is the parent of a wild, sweet, hilarious kid.

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.  Diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice-seeking strategies are centered in my approach to moving organizations toward transformational change. 

From 2012-2021, I served in governance roles and then as executive director of the Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance (PACA).  At PACA, I partnered with other cooperators, elected officials, movement organizers, and funders to position cooperatively-owned enterprises as a robust and equitable economic development solution to economic and racial injustice in the Philadelphia region.  

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.
