Together, Amy Barad and Beth Lavin offer decades of experience in executive leadership, project management, administration, fundraising, and operations. We both have MBAs from Tulane University’s Freeman School of Business, where we met. As “Chief Everything Officers;” we are consummate multi-taskers and thoughtful problem-solvers, offering integrity and a high value-to-time ratio to every project and problem we take on.
As executive director of a small nonprofit, it was SO amazing and helpful for me to have two exceptional thought partners like Beth and Amy to work through problems and questions together. I also appreciated the value system they brought to our work – excellence and commitment paired with empathy and flexibility.
Amy & Beth gave me the push, strategy, and structure I needed to further my business in ways I would not have been able to do myself. Best of all, they gave me the tools to know how to carry on the momentum after working together. I will definitely be checking in with First + Constance again for another project down the road.
