Leah Chang, Subject Matter Expert & Lead Instructional Designer

Leah is the mastermind behind Leah Chang Learning Inc. and a non-profit CRM implementation and staff enablement consultant. In a past life she was a Marketing Communications Specialist and wrote and sent countless newsletters, fundraising campaign emails (and did a lot of head scratching about CASL when it came out). “I wish I had taken this course when I was new to non-profit communications. It would have made my job so much easier!” Today, in her volunteer roles on nonprofit boards, she sees the value of ensuring that the operational team receives the training they need to comply with Canadian law, and maintain the trust of the community. In her spare time she tends her fledgling orchard and teaches open-air composting to community garden groups.
