S1E3: From Primary Teacher to Executive Director

Today’s guest is Mindy Griffith is the Executive Director of Bag it! They educate, empower, and connect cancer patients and their caregivers with the right information, right when they need it most. The resources they create not only provide a road map to help people navigate a cancer diagnosis, they also offer a step-by-step method for organizing necessary medical records throughout treatment–and it’s perfect for both the patient and the caregiver. Mindy is only the second Executive Director the organization has ever had, and so you know I had to ask her about how the transition went when the founder stepped down. I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised by Mindy’s journey from being an elementary school teacher to becoming the Executive Director of a small nonprofit in Tuscon, Arizona.
