ABOUT US
Chris Long
Project management is a concrete process that aligns strategic objectives, internal and external resources, and mission-critical timelines in order to achieve organizational goals in a highly efficient manner. I bring CEO and other senior corporate management experience to project management and administration for non-profits, local communities, and early to mid-stage growth organizations.
I offer a strong national and local track record of success in entrepreneurial leadership, viable strategies, commercial and non-profit operational management, deadline-driven production environments, grant writing/fundraising, media and editorial operations, and multi-platform communications and public relations, including social media. Because of my CEO experience, I'm skilled in working effectively with organizational leadership, staff, boards, stakeholders, investors, and strategic partners to achieve ambitious goals on time and on budget.
Previously, I was President & CEO of WisconsinEye in Madison; Director of New Media for C-SPAN in Washington DC; and a senior manager, editor, and reporter with print and online news organizations in Washington DC, New York, Hawaii, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. My education includes the PhD program in Mass Communication at University of Wisconsin-Madison, an Executive MBA from University of Maryland University College, and a B.A. in English from Boston College.
I'm the current Chairperson of the Gateway to The Driftless Board of Directors, a board member of the Black Earth Creek Watershed Association, and a former board member of the Wisconsin Environmental Education Foundation and 1000 Friends of Wisconsin.
