We’re proud to announce that Liz Laughter, Verger’s Managing Director of Client Service, has completed her certificate in Nonprofit Management from Duke University – deepening her expertise and nuanced understanding of the governance, fiduciary, and mission-driven complexities our non-profit clients face every day.
Liz’s decision to pursue this certificate represents her deep commitment to acting as an extension of our clients’ staff – helping boards, finance committees, and leadership teams align investment strategy with mission and long-term impact.
Well-regarded for its seasoned instructors and unique insights, Duke’s Nonprofit Management program curriculum is designed to represent the evolving needs of the changing non-profit sector and the complexities of Board governance and strategic planning. Importantly, the curriculum incorporates diverse perspectives from non-profit Board members, investment, business, and development office leaders.
"From personal experience, I know that serving on a nonprofit board and working in an investment office is demanding, with competing priorities, limited resources, and diverse stakeholders. That’s why Verger continually expands and deepens our expertise — so we can be an invaluable resource and a true extension of our clients’ committees and staff.” - Liz Laughter
Please join us in congratulating Liz, who constantly shows us how to truly be of service to our non-profit clients, meeting them where they are and supporting them well beyond the boundaries of traditional investment management.
