Tennessee Nonprofit Network

Introducing Amber Parker, our 2025 Keynote Speaker!             The Stories We Tell: Crafting a Narrative for Nonprofit Success

9:00 am – 9:45 am | Henley Hall

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do in the nonprofit world. From media and marketing to donor engagement and program delivery, the way we tell our organization’s story shapes how others see us—and, ultimately–how successful we are. But just as important as the external stories we share are the internal ones we tell ourselves. Too often, we operate from a place of scarcity, questioning our worth and fearing there will never be enough—enough funding, enough support, and enough time.

Let’s explore how to craft and share powerful stories that inspire action and connection while we take a hard look at the narratives we carry within us. Because when we rewrite our internal story to one of abundance, confidence, and possibility, we don’t just transform ourselves—we transform our organizations and the communities we serve.

Amber Parker is a seasoned nonprofit leader with a proven track record of guiding organizations through complex challenges to financial stability and operational excellence. As President & CEO of Ijams Nature Center and founder of RootSpark Consulting, she specializes in executive leadership, strategic planning, and organizational change, helping nonprofits build sustainability and amplify their impact.
 

With extensive experience fostering cross-sector partnerships, Amber has worked with government agencies, academic institutions, and community organizations to drive meaningful change. She has also served on numerous local and national boards, reflecting her commitment to knowledge-sharing and sector-wide growth. A passionate conservationist, Amber finds inspiration in nature—whether hiking, paddling, or birding—and brings that same energy and vision to her leadership.
