Sherri Wolson
Sherri Wolson likes to joke that she joined SVP to make up for all the bad things she did as a lawyer. Although she likes antitrust law and appellate litigation, her passion is early childhood education. In particular, she believes that every child deserves access to high-quality early childhood programs.
Sherri and her husband, Neil Black, joined SVP in 2006. She has chaired two new grant committees and the Portfolio Grant Committee. She serves on SVP Seattle’s Early Learning Collective Action Team, as well as the boards of Child Care Resources and the ACLU of Washington.
Sherri has an AB from Stanford University and a JD from Stanford Law School. When she isn’t volunteering, she can usually be found working on her tennis game, exploring new restaurants or driving carpool.

No Diva's Here
This isn’t the post I intended to publish. My original post was a list of do’s and don’ts for fundraising event organizers. Maybe I’ve attended too many events. Maybe I’m still a little scarred from the last crowded, overly long, poorly catered event I attended. The post was a rant. A pretty angry one.
What's Your Giving Strategy?
Spring fundraising event season is here. From all of the numerous events and invitations, how should you decide which events to attend and which to decline?
Yes to the 3-Day Walk?
This fall, three moms at my daughter’s school were diagnosed with breast cancer. Of course I would express my support and drop off a meal, but I felt like I needed to do something more. Something bigger. Something to help them and other women diagnosed with this common disease.
Managing to Outcomes: Why the Fuss?
Honestly, I wasn’t sure how many people would show up to talk about outcomes measurement when they could be holiday shopping or spending time with their families. Yet folks didn't want to leave last week's "Leap of Reason" book discussion. It made me wonder: should SVP be doing more to support nonprofits in measuring their results?
What are Your Finances Revealing...or Hiding?
I’ll admit it. More than once I’ve looked at a board meeting agenda and thought, I hope we wrap up the financial discussions quickly so we can move on to the interesting part. Last Thursday, however, David Greco from the Nonprofit Finance Fund convinced me to change my tune.
