Dorothy Chongkit, director of partnerships, retiring on September 10, 2024.
Dorothy started her second career in the nonprofit space by chance from an invitation to volunteer at a PiD event by Vicki Nakashima, one of our founders. Since joining PiD as an administrative assistant in 2019 and then being promoted to director of partnership in 2022, Dorothy has been instrumental in helping the growth and retention of members.
“Community building is an ongoing process, and I relish in the opportunities to make meaningful connections”
