With more than 20 years of experience working in the non-profit and philanthropic sectors, Baugh has spent more than a decade of her career building organizational impact and affinity for some of the top national nonprofit brands in the country. She also held a position at United Way of Greater Atlanta, where she was a driving force behind the development of the Child Well-being Index and helping the organization use data as a catalyst for strategic investments and increasing volunteer and donor engagement. She led internal efforts to activate volunteers and executive leaders around Child Well-Being and was a driving force in garnering more impact-focused donors.
