I’m committed to your agency’s success

After 40 years in the human services field, Anne knows how hard nonprofit and government employees work. She also knows how frustrating it can be to work really hard and still feel like you are just spinning your wheels.  

Anne developed Action2Outcomes to support and empower government and nonprofit leaders who are ready to focus on outcomes.

 Anne has worked in the human services field for forty years, including twenty-six years with the State of Connecticut, where she served in numerous management roles for the Judicial Branch and the Department of Children and Families. Throughout her career, she has focused on systems change by developing and overseeing accountability practices and leading strategic planning and performance management work.

 At DCF, Anne implemented agency-wide utilization of Results Based Accountability (RBA) for internal and contracted-service planning and performance management, and implemented an outcome-focused approach in disaster-preparedness planning for the agency. She is a leader in Connecticut’s inter-agency RBA projects, and as a certified RBA trainer, she regularly helps colleagues and service providers focus on results to improve their operations and outcomes.  Anne is a frequently requested speaker on implementing data-driven, and outcome-focused work across large systems, and has presented at numerous local, regional, and international conferences on data-driven decision-making, managing for results, and strengthening government accountability. 

 Before entering state service, Anne worked in the non-profit sector for 11 years. She holds a BA degree in English and Experimental Psychology, a MS degree in Counseling and School Psychology. She is an adjunct faculty member in the Criminal Justice Department of the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences at the University of New Haven, and the Department of Public Policy at the University of Connecticut.

 Anne is the author of Stop Spinning Your Wheels: Using Results Based Accountability to Steer Your Agency to Success about implementation of RBA for public or private agency leaders who are ready to focus on outcomes to ensure the people they serve are better off.  She is co-author of Data is Not a Four-Letter Word: Turning Data Fear Into Data Enthusiasm, due out soon.

 Anne and her husband own and operate Olympia Farm, a small family farm in Guilford, CT.
