Welcome to our Interim Executive Director!

Dear Austin Creative Reuse Community,I am delighted to join you as Interim Executive Director from December 2018 through May 2019. My history with the organization goes back to the early days of pre-center fundraising, and I have a deep admiration for all that ACR has accomplished since that time! Here’s a bit about my background: I bring 15+ years of experience in nonprofit, social enterprise, and business management to the role, with connections to environmental conservation, community education, and the arts.   I’ve been supporting nonprofits and purpose-driven businesses in consulting and Interim ED roles for the past 3 years. I specialize in circular economy strategies, and I have worked with clothing brands, textile recyclers, manufacturers, and nonprofit organizations of all kinds.  I also served as co-director at Treasure City (a local thrift store and reuse organization) for 9 years, and as co-founder of Skillshare Austin and Boston Skillshare. My educational background  includes an MBA in Sustainability, a Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership in Management, and BFA in studio art and event production. You can learn more about my background at coryskuldt.blog about my consulting practice at fwdimpact.com.The top priority for an Interim Executive Director is to support an organization through a period of growth or transition. I’ll be working in collaboration with ACR’s board, staff and volunteers to build on your success, and position the organization for even bigger impact going forward. The community that has coalesced around ACR is clearly it’s most powerful driver - I look forward to getting to know each of you, and learning more about your visions for ACR’s future!All my best,Cory
