When it comes to transforming lives for the better, few people can hold a candle to Constructing Hope Executive Director Pat Daniels.
In her role she is a mentor, teacher, advocate and friend, not to mention a passionate fundraiser with a sharp business mind. In her 15 years with Constructing Hope, she has helped the organization grow from a small faith-based group conducting construction training courses for low-income and minority Portland residents into an independent non-profit group certified by the State of Oregon as a construction pre-apprenticeship program.
