Ben Rees

My position and main responsibilities at LEAP are… 

My scope is to narrow the funnel of potential projects by identifying the ones that will be most successful, and to usher those through to development.  The part of the filtering I am involved in is determining if the project is constructible, fundable and has community support. My desire is to increase the capacity of LEAP to serve the community and their stakeholders. On a granular level, this means optimizing processes, streamlining workflows, building information management and creating team efficiencies.

When I’m not working I am…

When I have the time I am out cycling, trying to hone my cooking skills, or satisfying my curiosity by researching something more deeply than I ought to.

I’m in nonprofit work, and specifically inspired by LEAP, because…? 

LEAP provides an avenue to leverage my unique skills, talent, compassion and industry knowledge in order to positively affect the lives of individuals and families by creating  hope, stability and a launchpad for their future.
