She oversees firm-wide strategy in the areas of operations and finance, leadership and growth, design and documentation, and business development. Nancy is mentoring the next generation of leaders for DAHLIN as we transition to an employee-owned enterprise.

She is interested in following through on every facet of designfrom the livability of a community plan to the design detail of its buildings. Her leadership and quality control ensure successful project execution, innovation and integrity.
