To help organizations identify opportunities and find solutions to their challenges as they develop their projects, MAC has engaged a confidential strategic advisor, Judy Murphy of Murphy’s Executive Leadership, to provide preliminary strategic advice at no charge to the organization.
About Judy
Judy’s first career was as a professional musician, working in theatre, dance and voice. Since then, her journey has taken her through a wide range of roles: from shaping the arts as Manager of Finance & Administration at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, to leading Folklorama and co-leading the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. She now heads up her own company, Murphy’s Executive Leadership where she provides services in strategic planning, board governance, leadership coaching and team development to a variety of organizations.
Judy is a supportive and thoughtful partner, committed to helping others build sustainable organizations that create a meaningful impact for the community. A lifelong Manitoba resident, she is passionate about her province and its future.
She’s also helped organizations develop in her role as Practice Leader for Strategy and Governance at MNP. As President & CEO at Safety Services Manitoba, she led a not-for-profit organization totally dependent on earned revenue. She has consulted with not-for-profit organizations of all sizes.
