Christopher Worman, Executive Director

Christopher (Chris) Worman has worked in the NGO sector since 1999.  Starting as President of the Lawrence University Community Council, Chris worked with several NGOs in the United States including the Guthrie Theater and Special Olympics Minnesota where he served as Direct Marketing and Foundations Manager.  In 2006, while training with Peace Corps Romania, Chris participated in a presentation by ARC on Romanian fundraising mechanisms.  Afterward, Chris began considering the important role community foundations (CFs) might play in the development of Romanian civil-society, the re-establishment of social capital, and how he might support this movement.  Since then, Chris has played an active role in the Romanian CF movement and he organized SzKA after building support for the concept within Odorhei through the award winning ‘2% for Odorhei’ campaign.  In addition to SzKA, Chris has worked directly with, or presented workshops to, more than 250 NGOs on marketing and fundraising and has written extensively on NGO development for such publications as Civil Forum, Archimia, and CEEWEB Diversity.  Chris is also interested in rural development and has developed several innovative programs including a social enterprise and a pilot rural biogas project.
