Rassen and Associates
Current Involvement
|
After many years of providing the vision and direction for a large non-profit agency, as well as spearheading local and national efforts to improve the lives of children, seniors and their families, Amy Rassen is now focusing her talents and energies in other areas.
In addition to management consulting and coaching, she completed launching a new national organization that raises funds to find a cure for asthma, a neglected disease. The American Asthma Foundation was the brainchild of Herb and Marion Sandler. Ms. Rassen was recruited by the Sandlers to get the American Asthma Foundation off the ground and to use her skills, contacts and fundraising knowledge to create an effective organization. As the Executive Director of the American Asthma Foundation, Ms. Rassen looked forward to the day when the causes of asthma are known and a cure is found for this debilitating disease that affects 23 million Americans. With the American Asthma Foundation fully operational, Ms. Rassen began consulting to the California Department of Corrections as a long-term care specialist, working with a team of professionals to design new facilities for California’s aging inmate population and to develop a service delivery model to meet their unique needs. Other projects underway include: ☐ Consulting to several non-profit organizations on organizational design and development ☐ Coaching executive directors in the art of management ☐ Designing a plan to reduce the isolation of seniors ☐ Launching a national effort to link family support networks to one another |
