Hello

I am a dedicated relationship-builder and change leader with over 20 years of experience in nonprofit and association management. My expertise lies in uniting community leaders, businesses, and government entities to collaboratively pursue common objectives. I have adeptly guided organizations through challenging periods and strategic transitions, cultivating strong teams even in resource-constrained environments. Over the past 24 years, I have developed comprehensive communication strategies, with a focus on crisis management, branding, and digital outreach. I have successfully secured over $700,000 in grants and funding, contributed to economic development and overseen large-scale projects, particularly in business improvement areas. In all interactions, whether addressing the media or participating in public, I emphasize authentic engagement and strategic advocacy to empower organizations to create meaningful, lasting change.

Additionally, I am a senior member of Parodos, a communications consultancy firm. Parodos specializes in helping organizations clarify their mission, foster meaningful connections, and strategically convey their stories. 

Specialties

I possess specialized knowledge in Business Improvement Areas (BIA) and main streets, with over a dozen years of experience in the industry.
I am also skilled in equity, diversity, inclusion. I have been a proactive advocate for gender equity in governance, policy, and board recruitment. I currently serve as Co-Chair of a new advocacy collective for gender equity, People's Advocacy Voice of amiskwacîwâskahikan

"We couldn’t have submitted our first grant proposal without Cherie Tellier-Klassen.

Cherie brought an incredible depth of knowledge around city grants and guided us through the process with clarity, focus, and confidence. She helped us shape our direction, refine our offerings, and clearly articulate our impact in a way that felt both strategic and authentic to Velo West Bike School. What could have been overwhelming became structured and achievable thanks to her professionalism and calm, practical approach.

Cherie is highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and a true pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her to any organization looking for expert guidance and support — she was instrumental in helping us take this important first step."
