Brenda Chapin, MSW, LSW

Founder & Principal Consultant

Brenda Chapin is a mission-driven C-suite executive and operational leader with over 10 years in executive leadership and over 30 years of nonprofit experience. She has provided executive leadership within a large, statewide nonprofit organization, worked for governmental and educational departments leading complex operational systems, workforce development, quality improvement, and organizational growth initiatives.

“I've spent nearly 30 years leading organizations serving children and families, and I kept seeing the same problem. Organizations rarely struggled because they lacked good people or good ideas—they struggled because they lacked the organizational capacity to consistently execute those ideas. That's why I founded Lighthouse Strategy Group.”
