Before working with SOVCA, she was executive director of the Downtown Millburn Development Alliance. Ms. Hackett’s expertise includes business development, strategic partnerships, marketing campaigns, brand strategy, and domestic and global promotions. A skilled grant writer, fund raiser, and media consultant, she has more than 20 years’ experience in conceiving and leading high-profile, award-winning campaigns and projects that address multicultural markets.
