Having served as a professor for over seventeen years, Ms. Taylor’s commitment to improving the lives of those around her never stopped at the door of her classroom. Her passion for her community led her to various positions, including that of an Equity and Inclusion Consultant and ultimately to the position she now holds; President and CEO of the Connecticut Community Foundation. Ms. Taylor has partnered with corporate leaders, guiding organizational learning journeys. Her facilitation specifically focused on encouraging all to challenge assumptions, uncover and reflect upon hidden biases, evaluate current practices and policies in light of new learning, and think deeply about aligning values and vision with everyday practice,  

Today Ms. Taylor leads the Foundation knowing that it has to live and breathe its values of integrity and transparency, courage and purpose, thoughtful leadership and equity, diversity and inclusion.  Focused on promoting equitable opportunities, encouraging community engagement, strengthening nonprofits, being responsive and adaptive as well as aligning the Foundation’s work with its values and priorities, Ms. Taylor is keenly aware of the awesome responsibility to expertly safeguard the community’s generosity to ensure that things get better for so many more of our neighbors.
