Alyssa Whitfield

Nonprofit Board Consultant, JK Executive Strategies

Passion. Compassion. Style. Three words that best describe how Alyssa Whitfield takes on the world. 

Alyssa’s consulting practice is rooted in a strong respect for the nonprofit community.  With industry experience that encompasses work on both sides of philanthropy, as nonprofit executive at local organizations including the Youth Lifeline Foundation, Encompass Resources for Learning, and the American Red Cross, and as a global leader in corporate engagement and DEI, with Constellation Brands, she focuses on community engagement, corporate partnership planning, leadership development and coaching, inclusive fundraising, and organization design.

In 2015, she founded Dress for Success Rochester, combining her passion for workforce development, and fashion, building it into the area’s premier employment resource for women. For the past 8 years, Alyssa has been the driving force and face behind the organization, serving almost 1000 women and growing revenue from 5K to 600K in that time. 

An award-winning non-profit leader and women’s advocate, she was recognized as a finalist for the Athena International Award by the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce and by Essence Magazine and Maybelline New York for the ‘Empowerment through Education’ Award. 

Alyssa’s rah-rah spirit can also be felt as she champions other causes; currently volunteering as a Rochester Area Community Foundation board member, Board President for You Can’t Fail, Inc., the Miss New York Scholarship Organization; and as a member of The Links, Incorporated.
