About Jane
Jane Wei-Skillern, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized pioneer in network leadership and nonprofit collaboration, with over two decades of research, teaching, and fieldwork experience.
Her widely cited research explores how social impact leaders—funders, executives, staff, and board members—can achieve greater mission impact by fostering trust-based networks and building on existing community assets rather than focusing primarily on organizational growth.
Jane now works directly with nonprofits, boards, funders, and collaboratives to apply these principles and strengthen trust-based community partnerships.
