I support purpose-driven organizations to strengthen their social impact by serving as a strategy and evaluation learning partner. In all that I do, five principles guide my work: Relationship-centered, equity-focused, systems-oriented, inquiry-driven, and adaptative.
In 2008, Ronda founded Insight for Action to help purpose-driven organizations ignite and accelerate impactful social change efforts. She has supported over 65 nonprofits, foundation, government agencies, health systems, and universities to clarify their visions for social change, understand the systems they seek to change, articulate an initial strategic approach, forecast milestones, collect actionable information, and engage in strategic learning to inform the next tactic.
Prior to founding Insight for Action, Ronda was an associate professor at Boston University School of Public Health and an evaluation director for the University of North Carolina Injury Prevention Research Center. As an academic, she studied the organizational dynamics of community, state, and national coalitions seeking to prevent intimate partner violence, reduce underage drinking, and limit access to guns. She has co-authored over 25 peer-reviewed studies.
Ronda received her Ph.D. in Health Behavior and Health Education at the University of North Carolina School of Public Health at Chapel Hill, a master’s in public health from Boston University School of Public Health, and a BA in Journalism at the University of Oregon.
