DIRA Professional Development is a highly valued partner to the Foundation. Kheli is unique in her skills and experience in that she contains such breadth of knowledge and resources in the Arts. She has been instrumental in creation and sustainability of the Foundation.

Specifically, Kheli guided our foundation in creating a structure (organizational design as well as a thorough review of all our filing documents) that not only assured our success but kept us accountable in accomplishing our foundation vision and mission in supporting artists through exhibitions and artists grants.

Kheli took the time to listen to our mission and vision. She has been invested in our success and this is evident in her assessments and advice as she guided us in governance policies, strategic planning and so much more. We found that her insight, approachability and knowledge has placed Black Box Press Foundation in an incredible position for success.
